I'm Shadowing You
Chasing Love's Pursuit: A Musical Tale of Tenacity
Lyrics
Everywhere you go I think you ought to know
Expressing awareness of the person's movements and actions.
I'm shadowing you.
Affirmation of the act of following or observing the person.
Turn around and find I'm half a step behind
Being very close in proximity, almost in sync with the person.
I'm shadowing you.
Reiterating the act of shadowing, emphasizing the closeness.
You lug, you, I wouldn't bug you
Acknowledging the person's presence, indicating a desire not to disturb.
Except whenever I can.
Expressing a willingness to be around whenever possible.
You see love, you are to me love,
Attributing significant value to the person, considering them indispensable.
The indispensable man.
Describing the person as essential and central to the speaker's life.
Like I said before, I'm camping at your door.
Stating a persistent presence at the person's residence.
I'm shadowing you.
Reaffirming the continuous act of shadowing or following.
There'll be no escape, I'm getting out the tape and video too.
Indicating the use of tape and video for surveillance.
In Venice I'll be a menace, in your Italian motel.
Humorous reference to causing trouble in Venice.
In Paris I shall embarrass you on the Rue de Chappelle.
Playfully mentioning embarrassing situations in Paris.
If you do decide you want me for a bride
Discussing the possibility of marriage.
The deed will be done.
Assuming a matter-of-fact attitude toward marriage.
Both of us will be so independent we will live on the run.
Envisioning an independent life filled with constant movement.
Picketed for every cause.
Commitment to various social causes, using picketing as a symbol.
Fighting all unjust laws.
Expressing a readiness to fight against unjust laws.
Happiness will be, just you, J. Edgar Hoover and me.
Imagining happiness with the person and J. Edgar Hoover.
Everywhere you go I think you ought to know
Repeating the awareness of the person's movements.
I'm shadowing you.
Reiterating the continuous act of shadowing or following.
Turn around and find I'm half a step behind
Emphasizing the proximity, being just half a step behind.
I'm shadowing you.
Reaffirming the act of shadowing, staying close.
You lug, you, I wouldn't bug you, except whenever I can.
Repeating the intention not to disturb unless given the opportunity.
You see love, you are to me, love,
Reiterating the person's significance in the speaker's life.
The indispensable man.
Stressing the essential role of the person.
Like I said before I'm camping at your door
Reiterating the persistent presence at the person's residence.
I'm shadowing you.
Emphasizing the continuous act of shadowing or following.
There'll be no escape I'm getting out of tape and video too.
