things were disappearing
in my neighbourhood
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 is 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 the life of crime
all 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 the life of crime
all to make you mine
all to catch a thief
your love was my relief my love is your release
your love was my relief my love is your release
all to catch a thief
