"Thief On The Loose" lyrics

There's a thief on the loose, but nobody's talking
I saw my friends, but they just keep walking
All the while they stopped and stare at me
Close their eyes, they swear they couldn't see

That he was walking away with my heart
That he was walking away with my heart

There's a man over there hiding out in the city
I call the cop, but he shows no pity
Smile and said, "He only means you well"
There ain't no crime you gotta live without

Gotta stop that man
Bring him back, if you can
You gotta stop that man
'Cause he's walking away with my heart in his hand
Gotta stop that man
Go as fast as you can
Gotta stop that man
'Cause he's walking away with my heart in his hand

I bet he's uptown taking down
All the women in this town
Stop thief
You know he's out of bounds and breaking down
All the hearts that he has found
Stop thief

I was a fine, foolish picture
Of his midnight embrace
Oh, I want restitution
For that slap in the face
He used such deception
Like a white shirt and tie
But I gave him my trust
In return for a lie

Gotta stop that man
Bring him back, if you can
You gotta stop that man
'Cause he's walking away with my heart in his hand
You gotta stop that man
Bring him back, if you can
Gotta stop that man
'Cause he's walking away with my heart in his hand

Stop that man
If you can
Stop that man

You better stop that man
If you can
Stop that man

You better stop that man
If you can
Stop that man

You better stop that man
If you can
Stop that man
