| I was into bein' out on my own
|
| I could take love or leave it alone
|
| That’s how you get when you’re hurt to the bone
|
| One too many times
|
| I had this heart of mine locked away
|
| I kept my guard up night and day
|
| I had enough of the games they play
|
| Out there on the line
|
| It was the crime of the century
|
| You played Robin Hood and rescued me
|
| Ali Baba and the forty thieves
|
| Ain’t got nothing on you
|
| You came on like Jesse James
|
| You stole my heart like you were robbing trains
|
| I’m gonna lock you up for life with me
|
| It was the crime of the century
|
| You stacked the deck, you didn’t gamble at all
|
| You knew exactly how the cards would fall
|
| You bet your heart, but as I recall
|
| I didn’t even stand a chance
|
| I bet you had an ace up your sleeve
|
| An' here I thought that you were so naive
|
| You took my hand an' made me believe
|
| In love an' a real romance
|
| It was the crime of the century
|
| You played Robin Hood and rescued me
|
| Ali Baba and the forty thieves
|
| Ain’t got nothing on you
|
| You came on like Jesse James
|
| You stole my heart like you were robbing trains
|
| I’m gonna lock you up for life with me
|
| It was the crime of the century
|
| And if I live to be a hundred and one
|
| Well, honey, don’t you think that it would be fun
|
| To do it all over again?
|
| It was the crime of the century
|
| You played Robin Hood and rescued me
|
| Ali Baba and the forty thieves
|
| Ain’t got nothing on you
|
| You came on like Jesse James
|
| You stole my heart like you were robbing trains
|
| I’m gonna lock you up for life with me
|
| It was the crime of the century
|
| I’m gonna lock you up and throw away the key
|
| It was the crime of the century
|
| It was love in the third degree
|
| It was the crime of the century |
