This is not a stalker song. That was Every Breath You Take. And he is on record as saying he can't understand why people think it's a romantic song.
But I view this song as a guy who is just completely infatuated with a girl. It's pretty much straightforward, not metaphorical, or allegorical, or sneaky.
And it is indeed one of his best songs.
Have you ever notice though, if you've followed his career, that is earliest songs with the Police were very repetitive? Message in a Bottle, Roxanne, Don't Stand Too Close To Me, just to name a few.
later on his songs did change and did have some repetition to them, but not quite like that, more like in strong structure, such as We'll Be together, Fields Of Gold, and Fortress Around Your Heart.

He is a very talented artist, nonetheless.
