Original The Challengers version
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
Beware of pretty faces you may find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Be careful what you say
Don't give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Secret agent man, secret agent man
This mysterious life you chose is a deadly game
Beware of pretty faces you may find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah be careful what you say
Don't give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
