Someone broke into my heart and stole a beat or two The finger of suspicion points at you Someone took away my sleep and never left a clue The finger of suspicion points at you Just as soon as they can make the guilty one confess I know exactly what I'm gonna do I'll take and lock her charms forever in my arms Then who is bound to be the guilty, who? The finger of suspicion points at you Someone broke into my heart and stole a beat or two The finger of suspicion points at you Someone took away my sleep and never left a clue The finger of suspicion points at you Just as soon as they can make the guilty one confess I know exactly what I'm gonna do I'll take and lock her charms forever in my arms Then who is bound to be the guilty, who? The finger of suspicion points at you
