You take two steps forward, smile and turn on the lights Just like a scene from a movie that you feel like you own the rights A bit of sweet talk and magic, a laugh and a little affection Some alcoholic persuasion, and you're groovin' in the proper direction
A secret agent man is always a mystery lover One smooth operator, working undercover Undercover
Chemistry is crucial when the op is in the search for perfection But keep your eyes wide open, surveillance is the key to detection Infiltrate, investigate, interrogate 'til you get a clue (???), inebriate, infatuate your next ingénue
'Til she's nude at the loins and she longin' like a long lost lover That's when you know that you're workin' undercover Undercover
You're movin' outside the law, you better watch your back She could be a double agent, Matahari may be on your track You better give her the slip, slip her shadow, baby, shake her tail Yes, it's one false move and you're dead, you've got to know when to bail
Sam Spade, James Bond, Philip Marlow, secret agent lover Now, you're Mickey Spillane and you're goin' undercover Undercover
It's a covert operation and there nothin' to get yourself out of there You can get bugged, tapped, wired, and then you're caught in her snare Few are those who can resist the lure of wealth and sex So wrap it up in your trench coat, baby, and pray it protects
A secret agent man is always a mystery lover One smooth operator, working undercover Oh, undercover Undercover Yeah, undercover Oooh, undercover
