need help with this song

came out in late 70's or maybe very early 80's

at least part of it is in french, but it got a lot of play on soul/ r&b stations

i think the song is about a cheating spouse, and there is a gunshot in the middle of the song

i wanna say it's femme fatale, but every time i google that i get velvet underground (which i don't think is it)

slow, jazzy sounding record

anybody? neutral

Do you know any of the lyrics?

hmmm I wonder if it's a song by Sheila B. and Devotion.She's a French singer who released an album in 1980 produced by Bernard Edwards and Niles Rodgers.The hit single is "Spacer",which received some airplay on R&B stations.
