Beautiful Thief
av Mark Steiner
(him)
How can I win back my heart
As you stole it from my pocket right from the start?
When I walk out this door you’ll no longer be free of me
We’ve got a problem now, little darling – You’re a beautiful thief
(her)
I’ve been a roving girl most of my life
The last thing that I need right now is to share some strife
To tie me down and keep me from my dreams
A man like you is never what he seems
You try to tempt me with your spells of love, your songs
But I’m a woman who knows what’s right from what’s wrong
Besides, I’ve got my eyes fixed on someone else
It’s still a secret which I keep to myself
So back off now or you’ll only get burnt
Turn around, walk away, or you’ll get hurt
But I am not a thief
(him)
How can say to me that you want another man?
I thought you wanted more from me when you first took my hand
In my pocket, deep inside, I could feel your love
You cooed to me in the dark like a morning dove
We were drunk, you and I, we stumbled the streets
And my desire for you would not accept defeat
I seized the moment when we stood before your home
And that kiss we shared felt like we were touching souls
You beautiful thief
(her)
How can I give you back your heart?
When you placed it in my hands right from the start
We’ve got a problem now – yes, indeed we do
When you walked out the door you took my heart with you
You are the thief
