          C
Have you heard the news?
I lost my baby to another man
I got a bulletin of news
Late breaking story that I don't understand

          C               F
Should I call her up late?
         G                C          F
Should I ask her how she really feels?
Should I try to make a date
For a time when we can touch and feel?

Am   Am7    F
She' so on fire
Am    Am7   F
She's my desire

I've got the bad news beat
And my reception is loud and clear
I've got a man in the street
Telling me what I don't wanna hear
I've got an eye in the sky
Taking pictures that I don't wanna see
She's got a brand new guy
Looks like she's never coming back to me

Chorus:
She's so on fire
She's my desire

I've got an eye in the sky
I've got a man in the street
I've got the bad news beat
I've got the bad news beat
I've got an eye in the sky
(Got an eye in the sky)
I've got a man on the street
(I've got a man on the street)
I've got the bad news beat
(I've got the bad news beat)
I've got an eye in the sky
(I've got an eye in the sky)
I've got a man on the street
(I've got a man on the street)
I've got the bad news beat
(I've got the bad news beat)
I've got the bad news beat
