Who's watching?
Tell me, who's watching?
Who's watching me?
I'm just an average man with an average life
I work from nine to five, hey, hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I'm in The Twilight Zone and
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy, oh-oh-oh
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me, is it just a dream?
When I come home at night, I bolt the door real tight
People call me on the phone, I'm trying to avoid
But can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid?
When I'm in the shower, I'm afraid to wash my hair
'Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
People say I'm crazy, just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much, that's why
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy, oh-oh-oh
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?
Who's watching me?
I don't know anymore, are the neighbors watching me? (Who's watching?)
Well, is the mailman watching me? (Tell me, who's watching?)
And I don't feel safe anymore, oh, what a mess
I wonder who's watching me now (who?) The IRS?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy, oh-oh-oh
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me, is it just a dream?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy, oh-oh-oh
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me? (Who's watching me?)
Oh-oh-oh
Who's watching me?
I always feel like somebody's watching me, ooh, now
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I always feel like somebody's watching me, ooh, now
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me? (Who's watching me?)
