This Is A Little Weird

I’m not a big Clay Aiken fan. I complained about his singing voice here. Now, I need to complain about his lyrics. From his hit song Invisible:
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room

Yes, I realize that there are even more offensive lyrics out there on pop radio these days, but those lyrics are downright creepy, particularly since Clay Aiken’s biggest fan base is girls aged 10–14. They almost imply the singer or writer is a pedophile or pervert. Now I’m sure Clay is neither a pedophile nor a pervert, and yet I can’t help but be disturbed that someone could write that or sing those lyrics.
