Every breath you take by the police

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, "Baby, baby, please"
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take (I'll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake (I'll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take (I'll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake (I'll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)

In the "Every breath you take" by the police, the use of repetitiveness is used as a sort of primary source to describe the happenings of his life. Lacking the apparent poetic-ism of other songs but gets across a very clear point in my view, This is an addiction song yet in a completely different way as he is addicted to a person not a drug but some do say love is the strongest drug so you can be addicted to it. He uses one phrase constantly and how he in some respects seems to actually hate her but also really loves her as he says "every step you take(ill be watching you)" meaning he is almost staking her which is by far an addiction, he cant stay away from her and he has resorted to watching her while she doesn't know, and he also says how he is there almost all of the time with the line "every move you make" saying he is there for every move. Also the fact that he feels pain when he is not with her, he pleads with her to stay, and like a strong drug he is "cold" and "longs for her embrace. Also mentioning that she is something he cant replace, with many drug users once they have taken, to take away the drug it is as though there is something missing just like her being away from him. This is a much different kind of addiction than normal drug addiction but in the end has the same effects as many drugs all the way to the extent (in some cases) to killing ones self or even hurting ones self. He also says his "heart aches" and that she belongs to him, this is also very prevalent to drug addiction as when one is addicted to drugs they believe they have a right to the drug and if they don't have it they are longing for more of it.
