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, More than you can afford More than you can borrow Well I can make them fall in love just as easy as I Pick their pockets hey And when I've done the deed I jump on a freight train And make my getaway
I'm a theif 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're gone and stolen mine
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 practise the rules That I've been taught You never get involved, never drop your defences But this time I got caught
I'm a theif 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're gone and stolen mine Thief of hearts, paying for my crimes Theif of hearts, and now you've gone and stolen mine
Feels so good, I want more, it should be against the law
