Let me tell you about a man I knew...
yeah, I knew him all too well
huh, my attitude has always been
you can have me for tonight, not for tomorrow
it`s gonna cost you plenty yeah, 
more than you can afford or you can borrow
Well I can make`m 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`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
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`ve gone and stolen mine
Thief of hearts, paying for my crimes
Thief of hearts, and now you`ve gone and stolen mine

Feel so good I want more, it should be against the law yeah
I`m a thief of hearts, a burglar in the night
before they knew what hit them I was out of sight
Aahhhhh, 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
Thief of hearts
Been 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...
