To Catch A Thief

(album: Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By - 2001)

I feel that you shouldn't get involved in an intimate relationship
Until you are emotionally mature enough to handle it
Totally able to cope with your feelings and your sexuality
Without guilt, inhabition or phoniness
But with love, tenderness and honesty

Things were disappearing in my neighborhood
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, my turtle dove
I'd hide you from the cops
Don't be frightened now, my love
I'll take a 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 a life of crime, all to make you mine
All to catch a thief
Your love is my relief, my love is your release
Your love is my relief, my love is your release
All to catch a thief
