歌曲在當時是相當具爭議性,與樂隊主唱 Sting 的感情史有關,與 Frances Tomelty 分居後,就與另一位女性展開戀情 Trudie Styler ,所以歌曲是唱給他的情人並不是老婆。重點是,主唱當時仍處於已婚的狀態,而且是他老婆的朋友。另外,Trudie Styler 居住在他們隔壁。
歌詞方面
填詞作曲由樂隊主唱 Sting
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
I’ll be watching you
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Since 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 please
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you
