No, "Every Breath You Take" is not a love song, but a song about stalking. Even Sting, who wrote this song for the band The Police in 1983 after his divorce, admitted that it is evil and sinister, a song about jealousy and ownership.

He was really disconcerted by  how many people see this song as a positive one and misinterprete it. He says: "One couple told me 'Oh we love that song; it was the main song played at our wedding!' I thought, 'Well, good luck.'"
