Stealin'
You sure put me on,
Said you'd always be there.
Then you disappeared
Right into thin, thin air.
It's hard to believe that you been lying -
It's just about enough to make me lose my mind.
Just like stealing money from the blind.
I went for you but you won't give your heart away.
I trusted you and believed everything you said.
You played me for a fool and
Used me for your dummy.
You really hung me out baby,
Like your dirty laundry.
Like stealing food from the hungry.
Stealing, steeling money from the blind.
Stealing, stealing food from the hungry.
Stealing, stealing medicine from the sick.
Yeah, you sure cleaned me out,
Played your game to the limit.
When you blew me out
You let my whole world fall apart.
Your love for me is just e dirty trick -
You left me holding the short end of the stick.
Stealing, stealing medicine from the sick.
Stealing food from the hungry.
