Lyric
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay

How my poor heart aches with every step you takeEvery move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching youSince you’ve gone, I’ve been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it’s you I can’t replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, pleaseMm, mm, mm, mm
