All the way, all the way
I miss your touch baby, yeah
Like a thief in the night
It can't be right...
(Like a thief)
I know where your place is
And it is not with him
I'm the one who is out here baby
Out here, just looking in
He ain't gonna like it at all
No no, that's good
I know the feeling
(Just you wait there in the dark)
In the dark, baby
Yeah, how his dog can bark
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
I'm gonna steal what's mine
Oh, I'm gonna break the laws
But I'll get through your door
But you wait and see
Yeah, I'm gonna get ya, get you free
(Like a thief)
I found out where he keeps you
I've even been inside
You check under your pillow baby
You'll get the message
If I see you at your window, well then I'll
know
No one can separate us
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Yeah, you can set me up
You can turn me in
Or burn me baby
Well you're in my skin
The only reason I'm breaking in
I'm coming baby, I'm breaking in
Like a thief in the night
Come on, yeah, oh yeah
Like a thief in the night
Oh baby you know what I'm talking, come
on
You can call the police on me baby
Set me up and then bust me
Come on I dare you, come on, come on
I'll take the drop for you
Soften the blow, baby, baby
You know what I mean
Nothing I can do about it
It's the power of it
Come on, like a thief
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night
