Lyrics

Pretty, pretty, pretty as a picture Witty, witty, witty as you can be Blind 'cause your eyes see only glitter Closed to the things that make you free Ever stop to think about a downfall? Happens at the end of every line Just when you think you've pulled a fast one Happens to the foolish all the time Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Games are to be played with toys, et cetera Love is to be made when you're for real Ups and downs are caused by life in general Some are yours no matter how you feel Shady as a lady in a moustache Feelings camouflaged by groans and grins Secrets have a special way about them Moving to and fro among your friends Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Live it up today if you want to Live it down tomorrow afternoon Sunday school don't make you cool forever Neither does the silver of your spoon The nicer the nice, the higher the price This is what you pay for what you need The higher the price, the nicer the nice Jealous people like to see you bleed Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you (somebody, somebody's watching you) Somebody's watching you (somebody, somebody, somebody) Somebody's watching you (somebody) Somebody's watching you (somebody) Somebody's watching you (somebody) Somebody's watching you (watching you) Somebody's watching you (watching you) Somebody's watching you (somebody, you) Somebody's watching you (somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody) Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you
