I don’t know if “What Do I Have to Do” by Stabbing Westward is specifically about a stalker, but the lyrics (and the creepy quiet-loud industrial-type music) make it sound like, in the right context, it could be:
I know exactly what you’re thinking
but I swear this time I will not let you down
I’m not as selfish as I used to be
that was a part of me that never made me proud
right now I think I would try anything
anything at all to keep you satisfied
God I hope you see what losing you would do to me
all I want is one more chance, tell me
what do I have to do…
I’ve Got My Eyes on You by Cole Porter. Astaire sings it on his Verve Jazz album… “I’ve got my eyes on you/So best beware where you roam/I’ve got my eyes on you/So don’t stray too far from home…”
I’m Shadowing You by Johnny Mercer and Blossom Dearie, available on her album “Our Favorite Songs:” “Everywhere you go/you ought to know/I’m shadowing you/ Turn around ‘n’ find/I’m half a step behind/I’m shadowing you…”
A band called Huffamoose has a tune off their We’ve Been Had Again album called “Take You With” that’s pretty stalkery.
The lyrics alternate between the she and the he:
"you shouldna come by you shouldna come by
I got a letter for ya this oughta do it for ya
you shouldna come by you shouldna come by
it’s all in the letter sweetheart plain and simple loved one just read it
I wanna take you with
do you wanna come with
listen to me look into my eyes
are you looking in my eyes
how many times do I have to tell you to leave me alone
I want you to turn around walk away never reappear go home"
Took a walk and passed your house late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight
From within, the dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
Oh what a lovely couple they made
My Boyfriend’s back and you’re gonna be in trouble
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend’s back) If you see him comin’ better cut out on the double
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend’s back) You’ve been spreadin’ lies that I was untrue
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
What’ll you do about me. I first heard it performed by Randy Travis and has been recorded by several country artists including the Forrester Sisters.
Some lines:
All you wanted was a one-night stand,
the fire of the wine and the touch of a man,
but I fell in love and ruined all your plans,
now what’ll you do about me.
What in the world are you gonna do
when some guy comes over to visit with you
and I’m on the porch with a 2 by 2,
now what’ll you do about me.

“How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away?” - Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks
I’ve talked to your mother and I’ve talked to your dad
They say they’ve tried but it’s all in vain
I’ve begged and I’ve pleaded, I’ve even got mad
Now we must face it, you give me a pain

What in the world are you planning to do
when some guy comes over just to visit with you
and I’m on the porch with a 2 by 2,
now what’ll you do about me.
