Let me tell you about a man I knew
Yeah, I knew him all too well
My attitude has always been, you can have me for tonight
But not for tomorrow
It’s gonna cost you plenty, yeah, more than you can afford
More than you can borrow
Well I can make them fall in love, just as easy as I
Can pick their pockets
And when I’ve done the deed I jump on a freight train
And make my getaway
I’m a thief of hearts, a burglar in the night
Before they knew what hit them I was out of sight
Been a thief of hearts, now I’m paying for my crimes
’cause now you’ve gone and stolen mine
Yeah, I met you on a starry night, full moon in your eyes
Did something strange to me
I was all prepared to spin my web, take you for a ride
But there was a fork in the street
Well, I didn’t mean to fall in love, didn’t practice the rules
That I’ve been taught
You never get involved, never drop your defenses
But this time I got caught
I’m a thief of hearts, a burglar in the night
Before they knew what hit them I was out of sight
Been a thief of hearts, now I’m paying for my crimes
’cause now you’ve gone and stolen mine
Thief of hearts, paying for my crimes
A thief of hearts
Now you’ve gone and stolen mine
Feels so good, I want more
It should be against the law
(I’m a thief of hearts, a burglar in the night)
(Before they knew what hit them I was out of sight)
A thief of hearts, a burglar in the night
Before they knew what hit them I was out of sight
Been a thief of hearts, now I’m paying for my crimes
’cause now you’ve gone and stolen mine
Thief of hearts
I’ve been a thief of hearts
Been a thief of hearts
I’m a thief of hearts (A burglar in the night)
Before they knew what hit them I was out of sight
(Been a thief) Of hearts, now I’m paying for my crimes
’cause now you’ve gone and stolen mine
Thief of hearts
Paying for my crimes
