I Spy
The Dooleys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The news is out, I'm on the run
Somebody blew my cover
Identified my number one
Now I'm just a prisoner of my own device
I've gotta make this new live survive
So I don't care if the CIA
Send an SOS to MI5
*I spy with my inner eye
Somethin' beginning with you
I spy my kind of guy
Come on, let's make a rendez-vous
So come on baby
Ooh yeah come on, baby
There's been some infiltration
Somebody tapped the hot line, too
There's been collaboration
So now the finger points at the truth
I'm actin' on instruction
From the heart of mine
To intercept my man in sight
The information between the lines
Says surrender love without a flight.
Come on baby
•Repeat and fade
