The Thief

Frankie Laine

I'm nobody nobody knows

But somebody somebody was

I slipped into town on the four fifteen

Sight unseen

I take what I want and I don't play clean

And I mean



I walk on the tips of my toes

So nobody knows when I'm near

A fool in the job when the streets are dark

I'm a shark

I'm slick and I'm quick and to make it free

I'm a thief



One unguarded moment gave me my start

Then on unguarded moment

I stole her heart

I'm parked on the outskirts of town

She knows that I won't leave alone



And I never knew I would see the day

Crime would pay

Cause I'm the thief who stole her heart away

Yes I'm the thief who stole her heart away
