Private Eye

I'm looking for a clue
I'm a private eye on a case
There's a hot thief on the loose
She disappeared without a doggone trace
Bloodhound searching, working on the scene of the crime
Asking all the questions, wonder what I'm going to find

I'm wearing out my shoes
You know I'm going to track that woman down
The hawk-eyed lady left me blue
Played me for a sucker, one more clown
Searching all the corners looking for a hideaway
Thought I had her where I wanted
When I got there, it was way too late

I'm watching all the moves she makes
I read the wrong look in her face
A mystery of silk and lace
I fell for her, my big mistake
I'm a private eye on her trail
I'll never quit or ever say I failed
I'm a private eye on the mark
You know I'm going to hit that woman's heart

I'm a private eye
I'm a private eye
I'm a private eye
I'm a private eye

I thought she really loved me
I thought I was her only beau
But she was only fooling with me
She hit me way below the belt
She defends her dog, she will out-walk all over you
Cold as ice, she's a diva who'd be untrue

I'm watching all the moves she makes
I read the wrong look in her face
A mystery of silk and lace
I fell for her, my big mistake
I'm a private eye on her trail
I'll never quit or ever say I failed
I'm a private eye on the mark
You know I'm going to hit that woman's heart

I'm a private eye
I'm a private eye
I'm a private eye
I'm a private eye
I'm a private eye
