Crime of the Century lyrics

I was into bein' out on my own

I could take love or leave it alone

That's how you get when you're hurt to the bone

One too many times

I had this heart of mine locked away

I kept my guard up night and day

I had enough of the games they play

Out there on the line

It was the crime of the century

You played Robin Hood and rescued me

Ali Baba and the forty thieves

Ain't got nothing on you

You came on like Jesse James

You stole my heart like you were robbing trains

I'm gonna lock you up for life with me

It was the crime of the century

You stacked the deck, you didn't gamble at all

You knew exactly how the cards would fall

You bet your heart, but as I recall

I didn't even stand a chance

I bet you had an ace up your sleeve

An' here I thought that you were so naive

You took my hand an' made me believe

In love an' a real romance

It was the crime of the century

You played Robin Hood and rescued me

Ali Baba and the forty thieves

Ain't got nothing on you

You came on like Jesse James

You stole my heart like you were robbing trains

I'm gonna lock you up for life with me

It was the crime of the century

And if I live to be a hundred and one

Well, honey, don't you think that it would be fun

To do it all over again?

It was the crime of the century

You played Robin Hood and rescued me

Ali Baba and the forty thieves

Ain't got nothing on you

You came on like Jesse James

You stole my heart like you were robbing trains

I'm gonna lock you up for life with me

It was the crime of the century

I'm gonna lock you up and throw away the key

It was the crime of the century

It was love in the third degree

It was the crime of the century
