If I was a detective I would be happier Than I am now Cos I would not be expected To just take this lying down I'll do what I can And my job will be my wife I'll do what I can But could not keep my wife Cos she left some time ago, whoa I really thought that life was home in? Some kind of resolution Some kind of ballsack solution I need Baker Street And where the? bend Or a plausible lie that I could tell my friends I think I could be the one happy detective Cos I would search for everyone else and do what I can And my job would be my wife I'd do what I can, but I'd never get it right Cos she left some time ago, whoa I'd do what I can And my job would be my wife I'd do what I can But I'd never get it right Cos she left some time ago And she's with a better man
