Lyrics

Creepin’ up on you is the wrong thing to do

I found your address got your phone number too

Visit all the stores where you buy all your clothes

Been to secret places you think nobody knows

If I have to live without you

Nobody could

I need to be around you

Watchin’ you

No one else can love you like I do

Feel it when I’m creepin’ up on you

I know that it wouldn’t be right

If I stayed all night

Just to peek in on you

Creepin’ up on you

I been hanging round all the places you haunt

Spying on your friends to find out what you want

Drinking from the glass that you left on the bar

Follow you around driving home in your car

Do I have to breathe without you

‘Cause nobody could

Watching you

I’m creepin’ up on you

I know this must be wrong

It can’t go on

This kind of thing

It’s taking all my sanity and making me a mockery

This must be wrong

So won’t somebody free me from this misery

Bring my baby closer to me

Cause no one else can love you like I do

You feel it when I’m creepin’ up on you

Creepin’

I know you feel it when I’m creepin’ up on you

Cause no one else can love you

No no

Like I do

I know you feel it

I’m really peeking in on you

Watching everything you do

No

No one else should love you

Baby creepin’ up on you

Yeah ‘cause no one else can love you

No no one else should touch you

No one else can love you

Touch you

Love you

Be with you

Time we do

Time I do

It is honest without being heavy, and the repetition makes the meaning easy to follow even on the first listen.
