Im a Stealer of Your Emotions and a Thief of Your Heart

I did my research on the victim at hand
I broke into your dreams and everything was at my command
I defrauded your thoughts and deprived your deepest desire
I took what I wanted and left you only to wonder and admire

I had my eye on the prize right from the start
I’m a stealer of your emotions and a thief of your heart
You kept your valuables close and thought your were smart
I’m a stealer of your emotions and a thief of your heart
You hid your love well in case you had to depart
I’m a stealer of your emotions and a thief of your heart

I returned again to the scene of the crime
To rob your innocence and leave you sublime
You woke up naked without your virtuous ring
But you didn’t report to the authority that you lost a thing

I had my eye on the prize right from the start
I’m a stealer of your emotions and a thief of your heart
You kept your valuables close and thought your were smart
I’m a stealer of your emotions and a thief of your heart
You hid your love well in case you had to depart
I’m a stealer of your emotions and a thief of your heart

I swindled your essence and then let you go
I capered a kiss and left your senses hollow
I cheated your life and left you feeling poor
I ripped off your world and left you always wanting more

I had my eye on the prize right from the start
I’m a stealer of your emotions and a thief of your heart
You kept your valuables close and thought your were smart
I’m a stealer of your emotions and a thief of your heart
You hid your love well in case you had to depart
I’m a stealer of your emotions and a thief of your heart
