The air was filled with suspicion She poured us two martinis And tried to guess my mission I pretended to know nothing It's best to use discretion But she turned her floodlight eyes on me And demanded a confession I told her I am a spy in the house of love Gathering clues to be used in the war of the affections I am a spy in the house of love I won't be refused I'm waiting for your heart's defection I saw, yes I did, everything that pleased her I recorded every movement And plotted how to seize her
I used a tiny camera I thought I'd Japanese her I made a voodoo doll of her And sat around and squeezed her I told her I am a spy in the house of love Gathering clues to be used in the war of the affections I am a spy in the house of love I won't be refused I'm waiting for your heart's defection I'll read your mail I'll tap your phone I'm on your trail You're never alone One day you'll slip up And leave a lip print on a coffee cup I'm a spy and I just can't help myself
