Crime Of The Century Lyrics

I was into bein' out on my own

 I could take love or leave it alone

 That's how you get when you're hurt to the bone

 One too many times

 I had this heart of mine locked away

 I kept my guard up night an' day

 I had enough of the games they play Out there on the line... 

 It was the crime of the century

 You played Robin Hood an' rescued me 

 Ali Baba an' the Forty Thieves

 Ain't got nothin' on you

 You came on like Jesse James

 You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains

 I'm gonna lock you up for life with me

 It was the crime of the century

 

 You stacked the deck, you didn't gamble at all

 You knew exactly how the cards would fall

 You bet your heart, but as I recall

 I didn't even stand a chance

 I bet you had an ace up your sleeve

 An' here I thought that you were so naive

 You took my hand an' made me believe

 In love an' real romance... 

 

 It was the crime of the century

 You played Robin Hood an' rescued me 

 Ali Baba an' the Forty Thieves

 Ain't got nothin' on you

 You came on like Jesse James

 You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains

 I'm gonna lock you up for life with me

 It was the crime of the century 

 

 An' if I live to be a hundred an' one

 Honey, don'cha think that it would be fun

 To do it all over again... 

 

 It was the crime of the century

 You played Robin Hood an' rescued me 

 Ali Baba an' the Forty Thieves

 Ain't got nothin' on you

 You came on like Jesse James

 You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains

 I'm gonna lock you up for life with me

 It was the crime of the century 

 

 I'm gonna lock you up and throw away the key

 It was the crime of the century

 It was love in the third degree

 It was the crime of the century
