Lyrics

[00:03.32] Theres a smart young woman on a light blue screen
[00:05.90] Who comes into my house every night.
[00:07.78] And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
[00:16.04] And she turns them into black and white.
[00:23.58] But you tease, and you flirt
[00:26.16] And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
[00:30.99] You can please yourself but somebodys gonna get it
[00:36.25] Better cut off all identifying labels
[00:41.47] Before they put you on the torture table
[00:46.62] cause somewhere in the quisling clinic
[00:49.19] Theres a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
[00:56.89] Shes listening in to the venus line
[00:59.47] Shes picking out names
[01:00.92] I hope none of them are mine
[01:07.31] But you tease, and you flirt...
[01:09.70] Never said I was a stool pigeon
[01:14.77] I never said I was a diplomat
[01:17.29] Everybody is under suspicion
[01:27.75] But you dont wanna hear about that
[01:30.19] cause you tease, and you flirt...
[01:32.74] Better send a begging letter to the big investigation
[01:48.40] Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?
[01:52.98] You tease, and you flirt...
[01:55.41] You can please yourself but somebodys gonna get it
[02:05.15] You can please yourself but somebodys gonna get it
