Once I had a heart cold as ice And love to me was only for fun And I made a mark for each broken heart Like nuches on the but of a gun Once I had a track on my sleeve And a reputation all over town I was heartless and cold and wherever I go I shut down every young girl I found And I used to be a moonlight-bandit I used to be heartbreaker-kid But then I met you and the next thing I knew that I was Oh, shut full of love Who thought that someone like you Would take a desperado like me But all here I am, I'm week as a lamb With my bleading heart there at your feet And I used to be a moonlight-bandit I used to be heartbreaker-kid But then I met you and the next thing I knew that I was Oh, shut full of love And I used to be a moonlight-bandit I used to be heartbreaker-kid But then I met you and the next thing I knew that I was Oh, shut full of love Shut full of love
