Thief Of Hearts Lyrics
Let me tell you about a man I knew.
Yeah, I knew him all too well.
My attitude has always been
You can have me for tonight, and not for tommorow,
And it's going to cost you plenty yeah,
More than you can afford, and more than you can borrow
Well, I can make them fall in love, just as easy as I
Can pick their pockets hey,
And when I've done the deed, I jump on a freight train,
And make my getaway, yeah,
I'm a thief of hearts, a burgular in the night,
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Been a thief of hearts, and now I'm paying for my crimes,
Because now you've gone and stolen mine
Yeah, I met you on a starry night, full moon in your eyes,
There was something strange to me,
I was all prepared to spend my will
Taking you for a ride, but there was a fork in that street
Well, I didn't mean to fall in love,
Didn't practice the rules that I'd been taught,
You never get involved, never drop your defences,
But this time I got caught, oh,
I'm a thief of hearts, a burgular in the night,
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Been a thief of hearts, and now I'm paying for my crimes,
Because now you've gone and stolen mine
Thief of hearts,
Paying for my crimes,
A thief of hearts,
And now you've gone and stolen mine
Feels so good, I want more,
It should be against the law, yeah
I'm a thief of hearts, a burgular in the night,
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Oh, I'm a thief of hearts, a burgular in the night,
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Been a thief of hearts, and now I'm paying for my crimes,
Because now you've gone and stolen mine
Thief of hearts,
I've been a thief of hearts,
Yeah, a thief of hearts,
I've been a thief of hearts, a burgular in the night,
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Been a thief of hearts, and now I'm paying for my crimes,
Because now you've gone and stolen mine
Thief of hearts,
Paying for my crimes...
Yeah, I knew him all too well.
You can have me for tonight, and not for tommorow,
And it's going to cost you plenty yeah,
More than you can afford, and more than you can borrow
Can pick their pockets hey,
And when I've done the deed, I jump on a freight train,
And make my getaway, yeah,
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Been a thief of hearts, and now I'm paying for my crimes,
Because now you've gone and stolen mine
There was something strange to me,
I was all prepared to spend my will
Taking you for a ride, but there was a fork in that street
Didn't practice the rules that I'd been taught,
You never get involved, never drop your defences,
But this time I got caught, oh,
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Been a thief of hearts, and now I'm paying for my crimes,
Because now you've gone and stolen mine
Paying for my crimes,
A thief of hearts,
And now you've gone and stolen mine
It should be against the law, yeah
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Been a thief of hearts, and now I'm paying for my crimes,
Because now you've gone and stolen mine
Before they knew what hit them I was outta sight,
Been a thief of hearts, and now I'm paying for my crimes,
Because now you've gone and stolen mine
Paying for my crimes...

tina turner has two definite styles. The airy-fairy vaguely soul-type style, which is ones like silent wings, confidential and missing you. And the darker side.
Thief of hearts is one of the dark ones. These can convert people who hated her before and reawaken people who've forgotten her.
As for what it's about, it sounds like a woman who shops around for men for the thrill of deserting them and messing with their heads, but she gets caught in her own trap when she finds someone she actually loves.
