Things were disappearing, in my neighborhood,
Once again somebody, was up to no good,
I saw that you were wanted, but not like I wanted you,
And that's when I knew, I had to be with you,
And that's when I knew, if I didn't I'd be through,
To end my grief, I'd have to catch a thief,
Your love was my relief, my love was your release.
Come into my window, it's open every night,
That's where I'll be waiting, I'll keep off all the lights,
I'm lying on my bed, crown jewels on my head,
I'd never give you up, so come in from the cold let your hair down,
I'd hide you from the cops, don't be frightened now my love,
I'll take a life of crime, oh, to make you mine.
Come in off that roof top, you're so handsome dressed in black,
See you in the shadows, I'd like to see you on your back,
Take this precious treasure, and I will treasure you,
We'll run away my dear, some place special, have no fear,
We'll even change our names, we'll be kinky, we'll be strange,
I'll take a life of crime, oh, to make you mine.
Oh, to catch a thief,
Your love was my relief, my love was your release,
Your love was my relief, my love was your release,
Oh, to catch a thief.
