The lyrics depict a narrator who is acutely aware of their partner's actions and intentions, likening themselves to a detective or spy. This vigilance is portrayed through the metaphor of "private eyes," suggesting that they can perceive deceit and hidden emotions despite any attempts to disguise them.

Ultimately, the song captures the struggle between trust and suspicion, emphasizing how closely we watch those we care about.
Private Eyes
Lyrics
I see you and you see me
Watch you blowin' 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
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you (yeah)
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you
(Private eyes)
(Watching you) Yeah
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Yeah, private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
(Watching you)
They watch your every move girl
(Every move)
(Private eyes)
(Watching you)
(Eyes)
(Private eyes)
(Watching you)
(Every move)
(Private eyes)
(Watching you)
(Eyes)
