Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Don't Let A Thief Steal Into Your Heart

Don't let a thief steal into your heart

Or you may end up broken hearted

Don't let a whisper tear you apart

Or you'll be right back where you started

How many days does a man think he has

That he can spend his whole time dreamin'

How many schemes is one man thinkin' of

And does he think he's the only one scheming

Don't let a thief steal into your heart

Or you may end up broken hearted

Don't let a whisper tear you apart

Or you'll be right back where you started

Stop your lies and stop your cheating

It never did you no good, no good

How can you say you will when you want to

When you know you never would if you could

Don't let a thief steal into your heart

Or you may end up broken hearted

Don't let a whisper tear you apart

Or you'll be right back where you started

Everyone is in love with money

Strange news 'cause they say that love is blind

How many times did you meet somebody

Who said they had some real peace of mind

Don't let a thief steal into your heart

Or you may end up broken hearted

Don't let a whisper tear you apart

Or you'll be right back where you started
