Pull up the covers
Turn out the lights
IÂ’ll know where you are
ItÂ’s alright
You can go head and hide
You know you canÂ’t keep me out
IÂ’ll find my way
IÂ’m here to stay
Even the cops canÂ’t save you now
Hey, baby, thereÂ’s nothing you can do
Hey, baby, itÂ’s isnÂ’t up to you
I am the thief of hearts
DonÂ’t hide or try to run
IÂ’ll play the part, IÂ’m the thief of hearts
IÂ’ve come to steal your love
You can hold on to your heart
You ainÂ’t gonna win
Go ahead and draw the blind
IÂ’m still coming in
Hey, baby, IÂ’m gonna wear you down
Hey, baby, Better listen to me now
I am the thief of hearts
The shadow on your wall
The whisper in your ear
The footsteps in the hall
I am the thief of hearts
DonÂ’t hide or try to run
IÂ’ll play the part, IÂ’m the thief of hearts
IÂ’m gonna steal your love
Hey, baby, thereÂ’s nothing you can do
Hey, baby, you know there ainÂ’t no use
I am the thief of hearts
IÂ’m guilty of the charge
You can throw away the keys
And double up the bars
I am the thief of hearts
DonÂ’t hide or try to run
IÂ’ll play the part, IÂ’m the thief of hearts
IÂ’m gonna steal your love
