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 an' 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 an' rescued me Ali Baba an' the Forty Thieves Ain't got nothin' on you You came on like Jesse James You stole my heart like you were robbin' 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' real romance It was the crime of the century You played Robin Hood an' rescued me Ali Baba an' the Forty Thieves Ain't got nothin' on you You came on like Jesse James You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains I'm gonna lock you up for life with me It was the crime of the century An' if I live to be a hundred an' one Honey, don'cha think that it would be fun To do it all over again It was the crime of the century You played Robin Hood an' rescued me Ali Baba an' the Forty Thieves Ain't got nothin' on you You came on like Jesse James You stole my heart like you were robbin' 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
