To Catch A Thief Lyrics
"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...
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,"
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 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
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
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
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
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
My love is your release
Your love was my relief
My love is your release
Ah, to catch a thief...

Absolutely my favorite Lovage song. I agree with Jessthink, it's definitely a clever song. I love the mixture of both love and sexuality. I think it's full of passion and romance.

i love this song! i really liike the intro when the guy talks in his formal voice. corny as it sounds, i agree with it. such a clever song overall.
Love this song and Jennifer's voice!
Also, it kind of sounds like a Bonnie and Clyde sort of thing?
I love this song its purely original....it makes me want to catch a thief to make mine
Its based off of the 1955 movie, To Catch A Thief.
