Robbery

Standing on the corner of rhythm and blues
A Valentino smile gave me my first clue
Tell me girl, I wonder can you spare me some time
He said, I mean more than just your nine to five
Love at first sight I thought so
Or maybe it was the clock
That led me to his passion
It was not "pillow talk"
When he taught me to spell disaster
I hollered someone save me
There's been a robbery, somebody please
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B, a love thievery
There's been a robbery, somebody please
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B, a love thievery
Save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me
He was Poitier and Gable all rolled into one man
A Marlon Brando voice, played me to his hand
Sweet words not just saccharin
But the pure sugarcane
Confection surely drips
When he speaks my name
Love at first sight I thought so
Or maybe it was the clock
That led me to his passion
It was not "pillow talk"
When he taught me to spell disaster
I hollered someone save me
There's been a robbery, somebody please
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B, a love thievery
There's been a robbery, somebody please
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B, a love thievery
Save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me
[Background:]
Someone save me
He's gonna get me
Robbery
A.P.B
Robbery

Save me

Robbery
A.P.B
Please, somebody please, there's been a robbery
He's got my heart and love baby, baby
Somebody please, there's been a robbery
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B
Somebody please, there's been a robbery
He's got my heart and love baby, baby
Somebody please, there's been a robbery
I'm gonna put out an A.P.B
Somebody please
