Dm C Gm A

INTRO:

Have you ever had a feeling you were being watched?

Footsteps behind you like a shadow when you walk?

Can’t tell if your mind is playing tricks or not?

Eh eh eh eh no!

What I’m going through is now racking my brain.

Thinking bout like do I got any enemies?

Where I’ve been what I did, what did I say?

Eh eh eh eh yeah!

Come to think of it,

I remember one chick,

That I was messing with,

While I was in conneticut,

I met her after my show

I took her back to my room.

The next day I had to go.

I never thought it would…

[Chorus]

Dm C

Get this deep!

A Dm

Next time I’ll be careful!

I’m getting letters every other day addressed to me.

Saying dear Jason you and I were meant to be.

Tell me you feel the same or it will be the death for me.

Eh eh! It gets so worst now!

She reaching out to all my people, friends and family.

Got me so paranoid; I’m stuck with my security.

It’s getting crazy here, it’s difficult for me to sleep.

Eh Eh Eh Eh You know!

Now all I’m thinking is

How do I get out of this

I’m feeling kind of sick,

Damn this is some crazy shit

I met her after my show.

She’s hoping I won’t let go

She wants a piece of my soul.

I took her back to my room.

The next day I had to go.

I never thought it would…
