Somebody´s Watching Me Rockwell
Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell
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 nine to five 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 watching me) And I have no privacy Whooooa-oh-oh (I always feel like) (Somebody's watching 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 But 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 watching me) And I have no privacy Whooooa, oh-oh (I always feel like) (Somebody's watching me) Who's playin' tricks on me?
[Instrumental Interlude] (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 watching me) And I have no privacy Whooooa, oh-oh (I always feel like) (Somebody's watching me) Tell me, is it just a dream
(I always feel like) (Somebody's watching me) And I have no privacy Whooooa, oh-oh (I always feel like) (Somebody's watching me) Who's playin' tricks on me (Who's watching me?) (I always feel like) (Somebody's watching me) Oooooooh Whooooa-oh-oh

Who is Rockwell?
Rockwell is the son of Motown founder Berry Gordy and Margaret Norton. His father named him Kennedy William Gordy after John F. Kennedy and William "Smokey" Robinson. Rockwell set up his record deal without his father's knowledge. Motown actually came up with the name Rockwell and the young Gordy agreed to the change because he believed he "rocked well."In 1984, Rockwell released his biggest hit single, "Somebody's Watching Me", featuring childhood friend Michael Jackson on guest vocals (notably in the chorus lyrics), and Jermaine Jackson singing back-up. "Somebody's Watching Me" became a Top 10 pop hit in both the US and UK, and a #1 R&B hit. Rockwell soon ended his musical career with Motown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_(musician) (30. 3. 2013) Listen to the song and fill in the gaps:
