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 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´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 practice the rules
That I´ve been taught
You never get involved, never drop your defences
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´re gone and stolen mine
Thief of hearts, paying for my crimes
Thief of hearts, and now you´ve gone and stolen mine

Feels so good, I want more, it should be against the law
