I know you work across the street
in the indie record store
I'm thinking someday that we'll meet
I'm thinking we'll do something more
I hide behind my magazine
then I see you walk on by
I'm not ready to be seen
I'll just sit right here and spy

watching and waiting
the feeling is elating
biding my time
yeah, I know that you'll soon be mine
soon be mine

can't let you see me
can't let you see me
can't let you see me

(I'm on a stakeout)
boys will come and boys will go
(I'm on a stakeout)
tell me something I don't know
(I'm on a stakeout)
I've seen you here before
(I'm on a stakeout)
I want to see you more and...
(I'm on a stakeout)
more you get inside my head
(I'm on a stakeout)
I want you in my bed
(I'm on a stakeout)
from far away I check you out
can't let you see me
(I'm on a stakeout)
(I'm on a stakeout)
can't let you see me
yeah, I know that you'll soon be mine
