Do you think this song would be considered "problematic" if it came out today? It has a male singer and look at these lyrics:
"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"
"Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you"
Almost seems to imply he's a male stalker watching every move a woman makes, as if he's "controlling" her life and how she feels. Then look at these lyrics:
"Oh, can't you see
You belong to me"
He then basically says the female "belongs to him" implying she has no free will of her own.
This song would be torn to shreds if it came out today instead of in the 80's.
