Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets, he stays a stranger
With every move he makes, another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
[Chorus]
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
[Verse 2]
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say, or you'll give yourself away
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
[Chorus]
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
[Chorus]
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
[Verse 3]
Swingin' on the Riviera one day
And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip while kissing persuasive lips
The odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
[Chorus]
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
[Outro]
Secret agent man
