Tina Turner Thief of Hearts song lyrics

(A. Rich/J. Friedman/J. Kraus/H. Hattler)

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...
