To Catch a Thief

"I feel that you shouldn't get involved
Iin an intimate relationship 
Until you are emotionally mature enough
To handle it totally 
Able to cope with your feelings
And your sexuality 
Without guilt, inhibition 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 turtledove
I'd hide you from the cops
Don't be frightened now, my love 
I'll take a life of crime 
Ah, to make you mine 

Come in off that rooftop 
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 
Ah, to make you mine 
Ah, to catch a thief 

Your love was my relief
My love is your release 
Your love was my relief
My love is your release 
Ah, to catch a thief...
