[Intro]
Let me tell you about a man I knew
Yeah, I knew him all too well

[Verse 1]
Huh, my attitude has always been
You can have me for tonight and not for tomorrow
It's gonna cost you plenty, yeah
More than you can afford or you can borrow
Well I can make 'em 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
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
[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
I'm a thief of hearts, paying for my crimes
I'm a thief of hearts, now you've gone and stolen mine

[Bridge]
Feels so good
I want more
It should be against the law

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a thief of hearts, a burglar in the night
Before they knew what hit them, I was out of sight

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Been a thief of hearts
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
