"Thief In The Night" lyrics

What's that creaking in the kitchen?
Is that a prowler inside?
I hear footsteps on the roof
And there's no place to hide
But I'll wait here for a while just to see
Why he stole my woman from me

She was innocent and pretty
A girl you all could have known
But he snuck out of the closet
And he stole her for his own
If seeing ain't believing then what is?
She was mine and now she is his

You know it just ain't right
He ain't man enough to fight
And he stole her like a thief
Yes, he stole her like a thief in the night

What's that rustle in the bushes?
Those dogs barking just for fun?
Do you think he 'll try to hurt me?
If I scare him will he run?
I'd rather wait a while here just to see
Why he stole my woman from me

Why me?
I am staring out the window
And I shake at every sound
I am lying in his prison
While it's him that's walkin' round
And if no one's gonna get him then I will
As long as he's the guy who gets killed
