Cry Thief

(album: Love And Kisses From Brotherhood Of Man - 1976)

I remember days when we were very young
We played together in the nursery
Of all the things you had
You took my favourite toys
You stole from me

I remember times when we were in our teens
And how you took away my teenage dreams
Every boy I dated fell beneath your spell
You stole from me

Cry thief
My friend you come to be
Cry thief
You always cheated me
Cry thief
And now the truth I see
Cry thief
I always lose to you
Cry thief
In everything I do
Cry thief
You hurt me through and through
Cry thief

Now I see you standing in your wedding gown
Standing in my place beside my man
We were so in love until you came along
You stole from me

I forgive you for the little tricks you played
Even though they brought me misery
The only thing I ever wanted from this life
You stole from me

Cry thief
My friend you come to be
Cry thief
You always cheated me
Cry thief
And now the truth I see
Cry thief
I always lose to you
Cry thief
In everything I do
Cry thief
You hurt me through and through
Cry thief
