“Private Eyes” was the lead single from the 1981 album of the same name. That November, the song topped the Hot 100 for two weeks. The next ten weeks saw Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” in the top spot, but it was followed by Hall & Oates again with their next single “I Can’t Go For That”. Little did Olivia know she’d end up being the meat in a Hall & Oates sandwich! “Private Eyes” was also a hit in Canada, Australia and the UK. It was certified Gold in the US & Canada.

Private Eyes Lyrics
I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin' the lines
When you're making a scene
Oh girl, you've got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When it's watching for lies
You can't escape my
Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you watching
You watching you watching you
You play with words you play with love
You can twist it around baby that ain't enough
'Cause girl I'm gonna know
If you're letting me in or letting me go
Don't lie when you're hurting inside
'Cause you can't escape my
Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you watching
You watching you watching you
Why you try to put up a front for me
I'm a spy but on your side you see
Slip on, into any disguise
I'll still know you
Look into my
Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you
