Somebody's Watching Me Lyrics

[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 9 to 5, 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 watchin’ me
And I have no privacy
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ 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
Well, 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 watchin’ me
And I have no privacy
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Who’s playin’ 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 watchin’ me
And I have no privacy
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Tell me is it just a dream

I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me, ee, hee, hee
And I have no privacy
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Who’s playin’ tricks on me

[Who’s watching]

Oh, oh, oh
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me [Who’s watching me]

I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me, ooh
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me [Who’s watching me]
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me, ooh
I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me [Who’s watching me]

I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
And I have no privacy
Whoa, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
I can’t enjoy my tea [Who’s watching me]

I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Can I have my privacy
Whoa, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Who’s watching me [Who’s watching me]

I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me, ee, hee
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Stop playin’ tricks on me [Who’s watching me]

I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
Why don’t they leave me be
Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like

Sounds like it's about the NSA...

I think this song is about being paranoid that someone is watching them all the time.

He sounds exactly like Michael Jackson.

@kmk_natasha Maybe because one of the two voices IS Michael Jackson! (He sings the chorus.)

((Also it was rumored that MJ was the gay boyfriend of Rockwell since he slept over quite a bit! But since Joe Jackson {Michael's father} had taken him to Belize at the age of just 10 years old and had him fully neutered to prevent his voice from changing I doubt that Michael ever had any actual sex with anyone! {Also why me could never father children and had his lawyer cover that little issue!)

i really like this song. I love the beat which i think it beats the ass of all the more recent songs. Whomever the subject of the song is obviously needs professional help, lol. 4 out of 5 stars.

Maybe that's because the chorus is sung by Michael Jackson.

Whats really funny is the prog/neo classical metal band Warmen did a cover of this. It sounds.....interesting to say the least with Alexi Laiho doing vocals.
