Lyrics The John Butler Trio

The John Butler Trio

Steal It

You got your mask on, it's only your cold eyes I see.

No, you did not break or enter

but when you're leaving you take everything.

You're loot is packed and ready

the kids are buckled in and weep,

And now I'm curled up in this empty shell

where our home it used to be.

So tell me why'd you steal it all from me

why'd you steal it all from me girl

why'd you steal it all from me

why'd you steal it all from me girl

You opened up my windows

I gave you every key to every lock.

An yes you opened 'em up one by one

Got to the end and you stepped on my heart.

You were wearing gloves when we first met

I shoulda known you were staking me out,

Yes I thought your love came freely

and now I'm paying and there is now doubt.

Because way up, way up in the sky

I don't want to fall from this deftly height

Why can't we make up, wake up tell me why

Why can't we just hold on to what we made together

I thought we'd never sever girl, instead...

You go steal it all from me

Steal it all from me girl

Why'd you steal it all from me

Steal it all from me girl, steal it all from me

Why'd you steal it all from me girl

Why'd you steal it all from me

Why'd you steal it all form me girl.
