- Detective LyricsPeek in, sneak about
peek in, sneak about
your broken hearted detective
hey girl save the liar
can't you see his pants on fire
hey girl, save the liar
can't you see his pants on fire
my back it hurts again
it aches like history
caught nothing all day long
your smiling back at me, but
I feel you must have failed me
once again you've let me down
my confidence below my knees
now I need to find you out
[Chorus:]
Peek in, sneak about
I'm gonna snoop and call you out
I've caught you, you're hands are red
Now I'm your broken hearted detective
Hey, hey hey
Hey lover why you gone?
Hold on I'm almost there
It's too late you've killed the trust
Don't act so unaware
Why are you so destructive?
Do you realize what you've done?
you can't bring it back to life now
What are you running from?
[Chorus]
I don't like the way it feels
I just want you to be real
Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire?
Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire?
I'm rummaging through your closet
Imagining all the worst thoughts
[Chorus x2]
Peek in, peek in
Peek in, peek in
Peek in, sneak about
I'm gonna snoop and call you out
I've caught you, you're hands are red
Now I'm you're brokenhearted detective
peek in, sneak about
your broken hearted detective
hey girl save the liar
can't you see his pants on fire
hey girl, save the liar
can't you see his pants on fire
my back it hurts again
it aches like history
caught nothing all day long
your smiling back at me, but
I feel you must have failed me
once again you've let me down
my confidence below my knees
now I need to find you out
[Chorus:]
Peek in, sneak about
I'm gonna snoop and call you out
I've caught you, you're hands are red
Now I'm your broken hearted detective
Hey, hey hey
Hey lover why you gone?
Hold on I'm almost there
It's too late you've killed the trust
Why are you so destructive?
Do you realize what you've done?
you can't bring it back to life now
What are you running from?
[Chorus]
I don't like the way it feels
I just want you to be real
Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire?
Hey girl, save the liar
Can't you see his pants on fire?
I'm rummaging through your closet
Imagining all the worst thoughts
[Chorus x2]
Peek in, peek in
Peek in, peek in
Peek in, sneak about
I'm gonna snoop and call you out
I've caught you, you're hands are red
Now I'm you're brokenhearted detective
Facts about Detective
✔️
Detective is written by Gwen Stefani, Thomas Dumont, Tony Kanal.
✔️
It is first released on December 11, 2001 as part of No Doubt's album "Rock Steady" which includes 15 tracks in total. This song is the 5th track on this album.
✔️
When we try to understand the message behind it, No Doubt's 'Detective' takes an insider's view into the unfaithfulness and resulting hurt that an individual goes through, albeit through the metaphor of a 'broken-hearted detective' who is both curious and emotionally tormented. The lyrics of the song mainly capture the feelings of heartbreak, angst, despair, contemplation, and fury. However, along with these, the song also portrays the negative sides of unfaithfulness, distrust, and emotional suffering. The lyrics embody betrayal, lying, and emotional turmoil, which might be too much for the younger listeners. Moreover, references to violence ('his pants on fire', 'hands are red') and a gun mentioned, only add to the mature themes already present and thus a PG-13 rating is justified.
✔️
Detective falls under the genre Pop.

Detective song length is 2 minutes and 53 seconds.
