LOVE THIEF
Recorded by Hank Thompson
Words and music by Mary Lou Powers and Hank Thompson
[C] Well, you stole my heart and that's a sin
But in this case I hope you win
[G] Love [F] Thief; [G7] that's what you [C] are
You took my heart and that's a crime
But I don't care if its just mine
[G] Love [F] Thief; [G7] that's what you [C] are.
I'm not com-[F] plainin' for can't you [C] see
That I'm so [D7] glad you're after [G7] me
Both [C] day and night you stole me blind
Hugs and kisses; what a crime
[G] Love [F] Thief; [G7] that's what you [C] are.
You picked the lock with a burglars' skill
Walked right in and took your fill
Love Thief; that's what you are
Now, you took all and everything
All we need is a wedding ring
Love Thief; that's what you are.
I wasn't looking when you sneaked through
To rob my gold and affection, too
You took my heart and all I own
But all along you should have known
Love Thief; I was stealin' too.
TAG: Love Thief; I was stealin', too.
