<p>I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you’re far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure</p>
<p>(Chorus)
I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
'Cause I’d miss you, baby
And I don’t wanna miss a thing </p>
<p>------------Creepy, just really creepy.</p>
<p>We call it the stalker song…</p>
<p>Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you</p>
<p>Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you</p>
<p>Yes! And that Dido stalker song, too. :eek:</p>
<p>UMDAD, my D calls it the stalker song, too!</p>
<p>“…why can’t you seeeee, you belong to meeeee…”</p>
<p>as if Sting wasn’t creepy enough.</p>
<p>“as if Sting wasn’t creepy enough.”</p>
<p>LOL.</p>
<p>I do not want to start up any ear worms.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So do my kids and I.</p>
<p>And I like that song better than most of Sting’s other music, it all just seems to drone on and on and on and…</p>
<p>Actually Sting has said that it is plainly a song about stalking, and that he is surprised how many people think it’s a love song.</p>
<p>I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping </p>
<p>What a dumb line in an otherwise good song.</p>
<p>6 pages and no one mentions </p>
<p>Louie Louie oh no
Me gotta go!</p>
<p>??</p>
<p>Okay Don’tpanic, I know I know it, but I cannot think of the song. Worse then an earworm!!</p>
<p>
I must confess, because confession is good for the soul, that “Every Breath You Take” is my ringtone for my wife.</p>
<p>while my guitar gently weeps</p>
<p>UMDad, the term for a mis-heard lyric is a mondegreen. From the Wikipedia article:
</p>
<p>I’m a pretty devout Dylanist and thus nearly had whiplash once when browsing through a Dylan songbook while my D was getting some French horn music. I love “Tangled Up in Blue” and had always heard “…drove that car as far as we could, abandoned it out West, split up on the docks that night, agreeing it was best.”</p>
<p>The actual lyrics:</p>
<p>We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out West
Split up on a dark sad night
Agreeing it was best.</p>
<p>Whoa! And Woe! I think I heard the better lyric, frankly.</p>
<p>Then there’s the lad who thought Madonna had a song titled
“Lack of Urgin’”</p>
<p>^^How about “…I can see all popsicles in my way” -:)</p>
<p>When my D was little, she would sing the Go Gos’ “Our Lips are Sealed” as “I’m a Tuxedo.” When I listen to it now, that’s what I hear.</p>
<p>Bunsen, I thought it was “hospitals in my way” (I was in the hospital a lot when that song was popular)</p>
<p>TheDad–I’ve also always heard it as “on the docks that night.” It’s a natural followup to the preceding line: they drove that car as far as they could–like, to the Pacific–and then split up on the docks. It’s funny, though, the minute you know it’s “on a dark sad night,” when you listen, it’s perfectly obvious that that’s what he’s singing. </p>
<p>Dylan is a great source for mondegreens. As a kid, I heard the line “Queen Mary, she’s my friend” from “Just Like a Woman” as “We ain’t married, she’s my friend.” Always made perfect sense to me (which should have tipped me off that it wasn’t right).</p>
<p>You do know, don’t you, that “Every Breath You Take” was a song by Sting and the Police?
It’s the police stalking you, my friends! 
The first time I heard it was at a charity concert for Amnesty International in London.</p>
