** Music/{{mothy}}'s ''[[Franchise/EvilliousChronicles Seven Crimes and Punishments]]'' series has "The Tailor of Enbizaka", about a tailor who seems to be in love with a man, but turns out to be under the delusional impression that he is her husband and that every girl he travels with in the song (who turn out to be his daughters) is [[MurderTheHypotenuse in the way]]. [[spoiler:The light novels subvert this entirely; she is still a stalker for him, and she ''did'' love him once, but any feelings for him have dried up since she's taking ''vengeance'' on him for causing a fire that killed her family. The original song turns out to be a dream.]]

* The music video for Music/TheCars' "You Might Think" makes this theme more obvious.

* Clay Aiken's "Invisible" is a definite stalker song. Lines from the chorus and second verse include:

** Music/{{mothy}}'s ''[[Franchise/EvilliousChronicles Seven Crimes and Punishments]]'' series has "The Tailor Shop on Enbizaka", about a tailor who seems to be in love with a man, but turns out to be under the delusional impression that he is her husband and that every girl he travels with in the song is [[MurderTheHypotenuse in the way]]. [[spoiler:The light novels avert this entirely; she is still a stalker for him, but she's taking ''vengeance'' on him and knows full well who he and his daughters are.]]

* Terri Gibbs' 1981 song "Somebody's Knocking" tells the story of a young woman and a man who is a little more than interested in her[[note]] Originally addressing a sense of panic between single women regarding stalkers at the time, it became a chart-topping hit when it was released after the attempted assassination of President Reagan turned the panic into a near-paranoid state after it was known the assailant was just doing it to impress Jodie Foster[[/note]].

* The CountryMusic song "What'll You Do About Me", written by Dennis Linde and recorded by several artists (including Music/RandyTravis):

And I’m on the porch with a 2' × 2'\\
Tell me what'Il you do about me\\

Johnny Delusional here

* "On the Street Where You Live" from ''Theatre/MyFairLady'' is a really pretty song about being happy just being on the street where your loved one lives. Which is sweet. Except it's also about ''camping out'' in front of said loved one's house in hopes of catching a glimpse of them, to the point that "people stop and stare".

* Music/LionelRichie's "Hello" takes on some creepy vibes in the video, where a college professor is obsessed with his blind student. Then again, she sculpts his face in class--despite never having seen it--just because she loves him as well, so we might be expected to think it isn't so bad.

* In the music video for {{Music/LOONA}}'s "Heart Attack," Chuu follows Yves from afar, snapping pictures and trying to get her attention, while singing a love song. Downplayed, in that Yves notices and doesn't seem to mind the attention, and in some bits is implied to return Chuu's feelings.

* The narrator of "Du Riechst So Gut" by Rammstein. One of the more terrifying examples.

* "I'm Your Boyfriend Now" by TheyMightBeGiants is about half this trope, half LoonyFan.

* The music video for {{Smashmouth}}'s "I'm A Believer" is a brilliant subversion. The singer sees a girl at a party and pursues her throughout the video. Finally, he corners her at the dock... [[spoiler:And pulls out a pair of keys. Turns out she dropped them at the party and he's been trying to give them back. In a DoubleSubversion, the girl recognizes him and appears to be on the way to becoming one for ''him'']].

* Alexander Rybak's single, "Oah," is a perfectly innocent tune about a man who's in love with someone younger than himself. The ''music video,'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4sfh2u8cgU however...]][[note]]And coincidentally it's from an album called ''No Boundaries''.[[/note]]

* "Leave Me Alone" by Music/AlexanderRybak is a song about an obsessed fan.
-->It started with a phone I stupidly answered.\\
You said you got my number from one of the dancers.\\
You waited right outside\\
You had something of mine\\
But then I saw your eyes-- your crazy eyes\\
Now you've got me into something sick and twisted\\
An evil kind of game I didn't know existed\\
You travel overseas to terrorize me\\
And I don't understand, why can't you let me be?

* "Special Delivery" by TheOffspring, though the lyrics also strongly suggests he wants to ''[[AxCrazy kill]]'' the object of his affections:

* "Tigerlily" by LaRoux is a particularly creepy example as the narration appears to [[BreakingTheFourthWall directly address the listener]], implying that [[ParanoiaFuel they're the one being stalked]].

* The narrator in "I'd Find You Anywhere" by Creative Source says that it would be a waste of time for her obsession to try to leave her because she'd find him no matter where he went.

* [[GeorgeClinton Parliament]] also recorded a song called "I've Been Watching You (Move Your Sexy Body)", whose lyrics are possibly the most minimal of the entire lot.

* Andy You're a Star by TheKillers is often interpreted as to be about a boy who is in love with the star quarterback of his school and stalks him.
* Until You're Mine by DemiLovato has this kind of vibe..

* The song "Bill Watterson" by LemonDemon is about the singer being this for the reclusive author of ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes.

You and me standing side by side

* Music/NewFoundGlory's music video for their song "Dressed to Kill" features a young man stalking his female neighbor across their cul-de-sac by watching her every move and taking photographs of her whenever she isn't looking. He ultimately tries to make a move by throwing a rock through her window while he's holding flowers, but he ultimately chickens out and runs away. [[spoiler:It turns out she's been aware of his presence the entire time. She's been watching and photographing his every move as well, smiling as he runs away.]]

* "Stalker" by German band In Extremo.

* "The Coffee Girl" by Temposhark seems to be about a man obsessed with a woman. He kills her lover after moving near to her.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqPF9NtGfNI The Stalking Song]]

* The Temptations' "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)" evokes this trope as the narrator (the late Eddie Kendricks, singing what would be his last song with the group before he and his longtime friend and fellow founder Paul Williams left the group) goes on about how he can't stop thinking and imagining the life he wants with the girl he likes, but must resign himself to the fact that the person of his desires doesn't know him and most likely never will (while implying that he at least knows he should leave her alone).

* "Imagine You Were Mine" by MitchBenn:

* TaylorSwift's "You Belong With Me". A lot less stalker-ish in the video.
