[Intro]
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
[Verse 1]
On a night like this
I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice
You come over to my place
You're screaming blue murder, needing someplace to hide
Hey, well, I wish you'd keep quiet
Imaginations run riot in these paper-thin walls
And when the place comes ablaze
With a thousand dropped names, I don't know who to call
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I got a friend over there in the government block
And he knows the situation and he's taking stock
I think I'll call him up now, gonna put him on the spot tonight
[Refrain]
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
[Verse 2]
They saw me there in the square
When I was shooting my mouth off about saving some fish
Now could that be construed
With some radical's views or some liberal's wish?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh-oh, it's so hot outside and the air is so sweet
And when the pressure drop is heavy, I don't wanna hear you speak
You know, most killing is committed at 90 degrees
When it's too hot to breathe and it's too hot to think
[Chorus]
There's always someone looking at you, wo-oh-oh-oh
S-S-S-Someone's looking at you, wo-oh-oh-oh
They're always looking at you, wo-oh-oh-oh
Tonight, they're looking at you tonight
[Keyboard + Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
And I wish you'd stop whispering
Don't flatter yourself, nobody's listening
But it makes me nervous, those things you say
You may as well
Shout it from the roof, scream it from your lungs
And spit it from you mouth (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Hey, if it falls on deaf ears to indulge all your fears
[Pre-Chorus 3]
There's a spy in the sky, there's a noise on the wire
There's a tap on the line and for every paranoid's desire
[Chorus]
There's always someone looking at you, wo-oh-oh-oh
S-S-S-Someone's looking at you, wo-oh-oh-oh
They're always looking at you, wo-oh-oh-oh
They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
They're always
[Outro]
Oh, on a night like this
I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice
