Everybody's Watching Me (Uh Oh)
The Neighbourhood · Other Songs - The Neighbourhood
You want me to tell you now
You pressure me to shout it
Need to hear about it
Think that I would count you out
[Bridge]I let you find it on your own
Then I found myself alone
[Hook]Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Ooh ooh, what can I do
If you're not here to tell you?
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
[Verse 2]
I go through all the trouble of keeping it within my walls
I try to be as subtle as I can
Assume that nothing needs me, all I've done defeats me
It looks like you were right again
And again
[Bridge]
[Hook]
[Verse 3]The more I want in, the more I want in
The less I know, the less I know
But I forgot it, I forgot it
I'll be alone, I'll be alone, I'll be alone
With everybody watching me
[Hook]
Watching me, watching me, me, me
They're watching me, me, me
Watching me, me, me, me
Everybody's watching me
