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
