    Do you think Anna will go to the airport? If you were Anna, would you go to the airport? What would you do? Every year a lot of couples split up. Many of them break because of a third person. What do you think about infidelity? Do you think love is eternal?

    Every Breath You Take

    Every breath you take
    Every move you make
    Every 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.

    Oh 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've 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...

    Oh 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.

    Every move you make
    Every step you take
    I'll be watching you...

    I'll be watching you
