The Fine Line Between Love Song and Stalker Anthem
Take this lens as a reminder to consider the meaning behind a song before you dedicate it to the one you love. The lyrics might frighten him or her away rather than drawing the two of you closer together, especially if you're pining for your ex-love.
On this lens, I'm going to nominate what I think are the Top 10 Creepy Love Songs, from the tenth-creepiest to the most-stalker-appropriate. I'll include the lyrics for each, as well as videos and places to get them, where I can find sources. If you've got a creepier song, let me know. I'll be happy to expand my list! In the meantime, watch out for The Police, Bryan Adams, and Blondie.
The List: The Top 10 Creepiest Love Songs
These songs have the potential to be sinister and stalker-worthy rather than love songs. The links below will take you to the lyrics for that song. None of this should imply that I don't really enjoy some of these songs, I just don't want to get to know the authors.

Lyrics for Nights on Broadway
The Bee Gees Sing a Creepy Love Song
Standing in the dark
Where your eyes couldn't see me
Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
CHORUS
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs
Singin' them "straight to the heart" songs
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town
Now in my place, There are so many others
Standin' in the line, How long will they stand between us
Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
CHORUS
I will wait, even if it takes forever
I will wait, even if it takes a lifetime
Somehow I feel inside
You never-ever left my side
Make it like it was before
Even if it takes a lifetime, takes a lifetime, ooh
CHORUS
Singin' them sweet sounds (oh yeah)
To that crazy, crazy town (yeah)
Lyrics for I Will Possess Your Heart
Death Cab for Cutie Live Up to Their Creepy Name
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound
But in a language that you can't read just yet
CHORUS [twice]
You gotta spend some time love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
There are days when, outside your window,
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective,
when we'll be lovers, lovers at last.
CHORUS x 2
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you let me down so easily, so easily
CHORUS x 3
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
Lyrics for I Will Follow Him
Little Peggy March Was Creepy, Too
I love him, I love him, I love him.And where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
I will follow him.
Follow him wherever he may go.
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away.
I must follow him.
Ever since he touched my hand I knew,
That near him I always must be.
And nothing can keep him from me.
He is my destiny.
CHORUS
I love him, I love him, I love him,
And where he goes, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
He'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love,
From now until forever, forever, forever.
I will follow him
Follow him wherever he may go.
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away, away from my love.
CHORUS
I will follow him (follow him),
Follow him wherever he may go,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away, away from my love.
I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
I know I'll always love him, I love him, I love him.
And where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.

Lyrics for Hello
Lionel Ritchie Creeps Around in Love
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
My arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello? I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you
[repeat last verse]
Lyrics for You Belong to Me
Carly Simon Gets in on the Stalker Act
Why'd you tell me this?Were you looking for my reaction?
What do you need to know?
Don't you know I'll always be your girl?
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own
You belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
You don't even know her
Tell her that I love you
You belong to me
Can it be, honey, that you're not sure
You belong to me
Thought we'd closed the book, locked the door
You don't have to prove to me that you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own
And I can tell, I can tell darling
Tell her. tell her that I love you
You belong, you belong, you belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
Tell her she don't even know you
Tell her you were fooling
I know you from a long time ago, baby
Don't leave me to go to her now
You belong to me.

Lyrics for One Way or Another
A Creepy Blondie Love Song
One way or another I'm gonna find yaI'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the lip or another
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip
I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all, find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd
One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
[repeat until fade]
Lyrics for Every Breath You Take
Sting Helps The Police Stalk Someone
Every breath you take, every move you makeEvery bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day, every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you
O can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take!
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Lyrcis for Obsession
Animotion Gets Honest, but Still Creepy
You are an obsession, I cannot sleepI am a possession unopened at your feet
There is no balance, no equality
Be still I will not accept defeat
I will have you, yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you
CHORUS
You are an obsession, you're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me
[repeat]
I feed you, I drink you by day and by night
I need you, I need you by sun or candlelight
You protest, you want to leave
You say there's no alternative
Your face appears again, I see the beauty there
But I see danger, stranger beware
A circumstance in your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems
CHORUS
My fantasy has turned to madness
All my goodness has turned to badness
My need to possess you has consumed my soul
My life is trembling, I have no control
I will have you, yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you
CHORUS [repeat to fade]
Lyrics for The Old Aparment
Barenaked Ladies Expose Their Obsession
Broke into the old apartmentThis is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live
Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole
I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back
Broke into the old apartment
Forty-two stairs from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
This is where we used to live
Why did they pave the lawn?
why did they change the locks?
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live
How is the neighbour downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I'm happy here
But this is where we used to live
Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux
I want them back
Sample the Top 10 Creepiest Love Songs
My Nominee for the Creepiest Love Song Ever
Everything Bryan Adams Does, He Does for Someone Else
Reckless
Amazon Price: $8.99 (as of 12/17/2009)![]()
To be fair, I'm not a Bryan Adams fan, nor did I enjoy the Kevin Costner movie that spawned its overplay. But the song implies that every single thing you do or say or think should revolve around another person. If someone were that obsessed with me, it would be frightening. Besides, he looks creepy on the album cover. ;)
Lyrics for (Everything I Do) I Do It for You
Creepy Bryan Adams
Look into my eyes, you will seeWhat you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
CHORUS
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do, I do it for you
Look into your heart you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am, take my life
I would give it all, I would sacrifice
CHORUS
There's no love like your love
And no other could give more love
There's nowhere unless you're there
All the time, all the way
Oh, you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it; there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you, I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you, yeah I'd die for you
You know it's true
Everything I do, I do it for you

"Hello?
Well, well, how are you?
Uh.. who is this?
Who do you think this is?
Stop it.. who is this?
You know very well who i am..
You almost got away from me didn't you?
Oh my god.. you can't be.. you can't be!
Hahaha
Oui, oui, mon amour...c'est moi."
I gave you my time
I gave you my whole life
I gave you my love, every dime..
They told me it was a crime
Do you remember?
Did it all go in vain..?
I looked in the light, I sat in your coal mine
The promise they made, I should keep?
Make sure that we would never meet!
I can't remember
The promise I made so deep
Tell me that past times won't die
Tell me that old lies are alive
Across darkened skies, I travelled without a light
I sank in the well, of my mind
Too deep, never to be found
I can't remember..
How could you be so vain?
Tell me that past times won't die
Tell me that old lies are alive
Love that expired too long time ago
Kills me, it thrills me
You have a new love and,
It looks good on you.
I have never wished you dead.. yet!
You can now have all the things
I could never give to you,
Look out the window: "C'est moi!"
I'm sorry, I am here
I'm not sure if it should bring you fear?
I whisper in your ear
Why is he in here?
While you are sleeping, I steal your earring
Light you one candle, this anger I handle..!
They said, I won't find you, but now, I'm beside you
I'm not all, that stable,
You should, know by now that you are mine!
Tell me that past times won't die
Tell me that old lies are alive
I tell you that past times won't die
I tell you that old lies are alive
Love due to expire too long time ago
Kills me, it will kill you too
Past times wont die
I tell you old lies are alive
Hate due to expire too long time ago
Kill me, please kill me before
I tell you that past times won't die

- I would say that the song with really creepy lyrics (and one of my favorites from Aqualung) is Strange & Beautiful.
Straight from the beginning:
"I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart,
I'll see."
to the chorus:
"I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realize that you love me."
kind of establishes the "narrator" as some creepy stalker (and the atmosphere that the song creates kind of matches lol)
BUT...it's still an awesome song, and I love Aqualung :)
Loved the list, by the way. Got a real laugh out of some :D
