Every Breath You Take-The

The Police Every Breath You Take-The Lyrics
1.Can't Stand Losing You

I've called you so many times today
And i guess it's all true what your girl-friends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But i'm not prepared to go on like this

I can't, i can't, i can't stand losing
I can't, i can't, i can't stand losing
I can't, i can't, i can't, i can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you

I see you sent my letters back
And my l.p. records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word i say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

I can't, i can't, i can't stand losing
I can't, i can't, i can't stand losing
I can't, i can't, i can't stand losing
I can't, i can't stand losing you
I can't, i can't, i can't stand losing
I can't, i can't, i can't stand losing

I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care, so i won't cry
But you'll be sorry when i'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But i'm too full to swallow my pride
I can't, i can't, i can't stand losing
I can't, i can't...


2.De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques i've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

De do do do, de da da da
Is all i want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all i want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

Poets, priests and poiticians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
And when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

De do do do, de da da da
Is all i want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all i want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

De do do do, de da da da
Is all i want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all i want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true


3.Don't Stand So Close To Me

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by nabakov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me


4.Every Breath You Take

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
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
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

In the late '80's sting recorded a new version of the song known
as 'every bomb
You make' which was played out over the closing credits of the
uk satirical tv show
'spitting image'. the rewritten lyrics were:
Every bomb you make
Every job you take
Every heart you break, every irish wake
I'll be watching you
Every wall you build
Every one you've killed
Every grave you've filled, all the blood you've spilled
I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
