Wow, nobody’s mentioned the all time stalker classic, _I Will Follow Him_ by Little Peggy March. That song always gave me the creeps. What if he doesn’t _want_ you to follow him, Peggy? Hmmm? ---

Satellite by Smashmouth “I see you floating by me I see a beautiful face It’s pointed straight up towards the smog I know I know you feel me beaming Can you sense my burning x-ray vision As you roll on by now You must be gravitating To the vibe I’m generating or maybe not yet” No Reply by The Beatles "I tried to telephone They said you were not home That’s a lie 'Cause I know where you’ve been And I saw you walk in your door " ---

“You oughta know” by Alanis, from Jagged Little Pill isn’t very stalkerish, but the alternate track on the album is kinda disturbing. “[I went to your house](http://www.lyricsdepot.com/alanis-morissette/your-house-hidden-track.html) Walked up the stairs Opened the door without ringing the bell Walked down the hall Into your room where I could smell you And I shouldn’t be here Without permission Shouldn’t be here…” ---

_Gonna Get Close to You_ by Queensryche, from their **Rage for Order** CD: Outside your balcony, I have a room with a view And I’m watching you… …I dial your telephone each and every afternoon I wait by your door 'til you’re asleep at night And when you’re alone I know when you turn out the light …You fumble for your keys I’m six or seven steps behind you I’m so close to you Are you terrified of me?

I’m Stalking, yes indeed I’m Lurking behind trees I’m Hoping that you’ll come back to me Whatcha gonna do when I make bail? Whatcha gonna do when I get out of jail? Every time you turn around you find me on your tail Wouldn’t be safe to open your mail I’m Stalking your behind I’m Peeking through your blinds I’m Hoping that you’ll come back to me Whatcha gonna do when the cops come late? Whatcha gonna do when I kill your date? When you find your dog poisoned by something that he ate Will you know I think of you when I masturbate? I’m Stalkin, yes indeed I’m Lurking behind trees I’m Hoping that you’ll come back to me Dead or Alive By popular New Orleans performer [Fayard Lindsey](http://www.comedyinvasion.com/picture.html) ---

“On My Mind” by Powderfinger. One of their best songs, and the lead singer specifically said that that was what it was about, at least in his mind. Baby I’ve got you on my mind, honey you won’t ever know How much I need you by my side, promise you won’t ever go I won’t take no from you this time Baby I’ve got you on my mind.
