Spy
Lyrics & Music by: Carly Simon, James Taylor, Arif Mardin
Got my eye on you
Nothing's slipping by
Watching everything you do
Like a Spy
I come here every night
I'm like a firefly
Moving through the strobe lights
Like a Spy
I know your shadow hides
Just what I need
There's something there inside
I want to see
I've got to take the lead
Undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you
Been wearing my disguise
For too long a time
Tonight I'm movin' in
Like a Spy
I know your shadow hides
Just what I need
There's something there inside
I want to see
I've got to take the lead
Undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you
You have your reputation in this town
For dressing up and letting people down
Until I find out for myself
I'll follow you around
You were flying high the night we met
I was just another stranger in your bed
But I remember showing you
One thing you won't forget
So here's a little note for you
It says: "Please reply
I'm the girl with the blue tattoo of you
I'm the Spy"
I know your shadow hides
Just what I need
There's something there inside
I want to see
I've got to take the lead
Undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you
