My Thief
Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello
Struggling with My Thief? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
When I go to sleep, you become my thief Why don`t you steal what you can keep? But you won`t let me be You break into my dreams And every day seems different Sometimes I pretend you`ll come back again And you`ll console the heart you stole Have pity on the man Who knows that you have gone And has begun to break down I feel almost possessed So long as I don`t lose this glorious distress then You can take all I have left I know it`s over If you can`t be my lover Be my thief I`m so drowsy now, I`ll unlock the door What fades in time will hurt much more So here`s that happy scene Where you come back to me It`s only found in fiction I feel almost possessed So long as I don`t lose this glorious distress then You can take all I have left I know it`s over If you can`t be my lover Be my thief "I didn't lead you on, But there will always be A little larceny in everyone So hush and don`t you cry I`m trying to be kind Because I have a perfect alibi"
Struggling with My Thief? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
