"Undercover" lyrics

On the corner it gets heavy
Everybody's got a line
You'd best be strong
You gotta be ready
Or the cons'll get you on time

It's no place for romantic dreamers
There's no room for love to bloom
Everybody you meet is a schemer
Trying to get over on you

You're undercover
They don't really want to love you
They just want to get you under the covers
They don't want to be your lover

You got to leave them where you find them
You know it's been the golden rule
It's best be safe than be sorry
Then you won't feel like a fool

The streets aren't safe for the innocent believer
Everyday they change the rules
Everybody you meet is a schemer
Out to get over on you

You're undercover
They don't really want to love you
They just want to get you under the covers
They don't want to be your lover

Oo baby, don't give your love away
Leave 'em where you find them
Oo, don't give your stuff away

You got to leave them where you find them
You know it's been the golden rule
It's best be safe than be sorry
Then you won't feel like a fool

The streets aren't safe for the innocent believer
Everyday they change the rules
Everybody you meet is a schemer
Out to get over on you

You're undercover
They don't really want to love you
They just want to get you under the covers
They don't want to be your lover

You're undercover
They don't really want to love you
They just want to get you under the covers
They don't want to be your lover
