Someone Dropped A Dime

verse
i'm an ordinary gumshoe with ordinary weakness
i said i'm not a saint as i poured myself a shot
she said she won't be happy until her little mystery was solved

verse
she walked into my office and said she had a problem
a man she couldn't trust, she didn't know what to do
could i follow him and make a report, i said i'd get it resolved

chorus
she's got me uptown, all around, searching for a motive
i'm her love detective, i'm just looking for clues
she's got me downtown scrounging cause she thinks i'm getting closer
so you better watch it, someone's dropped a dime on you

verse
so she pulled out your picture, you were suitable for framing
i never really thought that i was capable of this
one strategic little phone call was all i really needed to make

chorus
she's got me uptown, all around, searching for a motive
i'm her love detective, i'm just looking for clues
she's got me downtown scrounging cause she thinks i'm getting closer
so you better watch it, someone's dropped a dime on you

bridge
could i get away with this? risk it all for just a kiss?
paint a guilty picture now

chorus
she's got me uptown, all around, searching for a motive
i'm her love detective, i've got nothing to lose
she's got me downtown scrounging cause she thinks i'm getting closer
so you better watch it, someone's dropped a dime on you
