Well luck is expensive and freedom comes cheap
When love's on the menu, I don't drink so deep
Well I was just out there to have me some fun
But it's easier said than done

Mm, we're standing so far apart
We had a string of false starts
I can't seem to stop it now
It grows and it grows and it grows

Stealing my heart
Stealing my heart
Stealing my heart, yeah

My cards are on the table, you can look up my sleeves
You say you're honest but love is for thieves
Well I was just out there, chaste as a nun
But it's easier said than done

Yeah, like a shot in the dark, yeah
You shoot me right out the park
I can't seem to stop it
It grows and it grows and it grows

Stealing my heart
Stealing my heart
Stealing my heart, yeah

Mm na, na, na, na, na
Stealing my heart

Oh yeah
Ah ha, oh yeah

Well you've got no money and I've got no charm
While you're in a panic, I stay so calm
Well I was just out there to have me some fun
But it's easier said than done

Yes, uh huh - yeah, I thought I was sharp and
Yeah, you were a walk in the park
I thought you were dinner
But you were the shark


Stealing my heart
Stealing my heart
Stealing my heart
Stealing my heart, yeah

Stealing my heart
Stealing my heart, yeah
Stealing my heart
Stealing my heart, yeah

Stealing my heart, ha
You're stealing, stealing my heart, yeah
Stealing, stealing, stealing
Stealing my heart, oh yeah
Co
me on, come on now
Stealing, come on
Stealing my, stealing my heart

Stealing my heart, yeah
Stealing my heart, yes
