"Spy in the House of Love" is a song by art-funk ensemble Was (Not Was). It was released in 1987, but became a large hit for the group in the U.S. and the UK in 1988.
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 a 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 everything that pleased her I recorded every moment and plotted how to seize her I used a tiny camera - I tought 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 a 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
