Watching You Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
Take me downtown
It's where the people rock,
Three-hundred sixty five cos we never stop.
Take me downtown
Cos' peoples runnin' wild.
See how we kick it in a brand new style.
Take me downtown
It's where I wanna go.
Everyone I know is going to my show-
Take me downtown
Where the city hum,
Then get your head numb to the beat of the drum cause,
[CHORUS]
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
[VERSE 2]
Take me downtown
Cause baby wants to rock.
I need a little edge with my electro pop
Take me downtown
So everybody sees
I know my moves like my ABCs
Take me downtown
It's time we made it right
This show ain't going nowhere we'll just party all night
Take me downtown
Where the city hum,
Then get your head numb to the beat of the drum, cause.
[CHORUS]
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
[BRIDGE]
Baby rock, never stop,
Round and round the clock.
Lover's rock, give it up,
Never, never stop.
Baby rock, get on top,
Take it take it all.
I'm not the kind of girl, who's scared of you at all cause,
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching ? ROCK!
[CHORUS]
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
It's where the people rock,
Three-hundred sixty five cos we never stop.
Cos' peoples runnin' wild.
See how we kick it in a brand new style.
It's where I wanna go.
Everyone I know is going to my show-
Where the city hum,
Then get your head numb to the beat of the drum cause,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
Cause baby wants to rock.
I need a little edge with my electro pop
So everybody sees
I know my moves like my ABCs
It's time we made it right
This show ain't going nowhere we'll just party all night
Where the city hum,
Then get your head numb to the beat of the drum, cause.
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
Round and round the clock.
Never, never stop.
Take it take it all.
I see you watching me watching ? ROCK!
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.

Awesome song, love the use of The Knack's "My Sharona" riffs. Nat Bass is gorgeous in the video; her curly hair matches Cameron McGlinchey's too! (Nat's bf & RT drummer) ^^.
According to James Ash, the song is about being the centre of attention; going out to party and having a great time and having everything revolve around you. :]
love the Rogues!
(woot first comment! dances)
Very catchy song which I can relate to at the moment..
god this band is shit. they cant even write there own fukin riffs, they have to rip of an 80's song. what is considered as music these days is pathetic
^^^^^^
Couldn't have said it better
I don't give a crap what this song means - any possible meaning would have to be as inane and worthless as the music that conveys it. you're not paying homage to influential bands (not that the knack can be described as influential beyond 'my sharona') by stealing their riffs. this isn't like giving a cheeky nod towards an influence, this is effectively admitting that you are a worthless songwriter who cannot produce anything original or worthwhile. so you steal one of the most recognisable riffs in rock and pretend it's some sort of accetpable 'sampling' or such. this promoter's dream sucks so bad, and i look forward to their being speedily condemned to a future of appearances at outer suburban shopping centres, possibly as an opening act for big brother evictees.
and the superjesus sucked as well.
i liked voodoo child. but i cannot stand this. natalie has a good voice when shes doing the 'christina aguilera' esque growly singing like on voodoo child "so here it comes the sound of drums'. not the shreiky talking bit in this. Meaning: bout having fun and doing what you want?!
karma sutured, couldn't have put it any better myself.
"Watching You" was recently featured in one of the Old Navy commercials aired on U.S. television.
