The Thief of your heart
The Thief of your heart
Under the pale night of the city lights
Dodging the noise on a ledge lined with tiles
A shadow is approaching
Neighborhood cats meow
And you come out of your night dreams, and see him
The thief of your heart
The thief of your heart
He penetrates through your wide open window
He comes to snatch you from your man who is not there
The thief of your heart
The thief of your heart
His smell comes up to you
Before he even touched you
The thief of your heart
Who comes to snatch you from the night so deep
And now there is desire in your eyes
Maybe up there on the rooftops
The thief of your heart
Who snatches your love from you and keeps it in his body
When your man is no longer there
Clinging to your dreams
The thief of your heart
When your man is gone
Hang on to your dreams
All of a sudden
His lips on your heart
Tearaway your fear a little
While you tremble
‘Cause you forgot his place was here
Hidden behind your bosom
The thief of your heart
The thief of your heart
