You’d better beware
He’ll catch you when you’re unaware
Look out, he’s gonna stare
Catch him, he won’t care

Look in any window
Hold yourself back
He’s gonna look in any window
It’s a visual attack

He’s spying he’s thinkin’
He’s craving for sin
Open up your window
Go on and let him in

Look in any window
Hold yourself back
He’s gonna look in any window
It’s a visual attack, that’s what it is

What a desire
His mind is on fire
He sweats and he pants
The love he can’t have

Look in any window
Hold yourself back
He’s gonna look in any window
It’s a visual attack
