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
