Daryl Hall & John Oates - Private Eyes - Lyrics (Hall and Oates)

Private Eyes
(1981)
Private Eyes is the tenth studio album by American pop rock duo Hall & Oates, released on September 1, 1981, by RCA Records. The album includes two number-one singles—the title track and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", as well as the top-10 single "Did It in a Minute". "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" also spent a week at the top of the R&B chart.

Though Daryl Hall & John Oates had reached the upper reaches of the Billboard charts with "She's Gone", "Sara Smile", and "Rich Girl", the duo did not return to major mainstream success until they released a cover version of the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" on their 1980 album, Voices. The heavy airplay eventually led to the duo's first number-one single in four years, the Voices release, "Kiss on My List" in early 1981.

As the liner notes to the 2004 Private Eyes reissue indicate, it was while Daryl Hall & John Oates were recording the follow-up album in their adopted hometown of New York City, during the spring of 1981, that "Kiss on My List" reached number one in three trade publications. Determined to follow up on their success, the duo produced Private Eyes assisted by their co-producer Neil Kernon.

That November, the song topped the Hot 100 for two weeks. The next ten weeks saw Olivia Newton-John’s Physical in the top spot, but it was followed by Hall & Oates again with their next single “I Can’t Go For That”. Little did Olivia know she’d end up being the meat in a Hall & Oates sandwich! Private Eyes was also a hit in Canada, Australia and the UK. It was certified Gold in the US & Canada.
Released September 1, 1981, Studio Electric Lady (New York City)

(Lyrics)
I see you, you see me
Watch you blowing the lines when you're making a scene
Oh, girl, you've got to know
What my head overlooks the senses will show
To my heart, when it's watching for lies
You can't escape my

Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you, watching you, watching you, watching you

You play with words, you play with love
You can twist it around, baby, that ain't enough
'Cause girl, I'm gonna know
If you're letting me in or letting me go
Don't lie when you're hurting inside
'Cause you can't escape my

Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move, baby
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you, watching you, watching you, watching you

Ooh, why you try to put up a front for me?
I'm a spy but on your side, you see
Slip on into any disguise
I'll still know you, look into my

Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Oh babe, private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you

Private eyes
They're watching you, yeah
They see your every move, they see it
Private eyes, oh
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you

Private eyes, ooh
Watching you, yeah
They see your every move, they see you
Private eyes
They're watching you
Your private eyes
They're watching you

Private eyes
Watching you
They watch your every move, girl
Every move
Oh I see you, oh I see you
Private eyes
Private, private, private eyes, girl
Watching you
Eyes
They're watching you, watching you

Private eyes
Watching you
Every move
They see your private eyes, yeah
Watching you
