The Thief

You've got a rich dad who hates every boy like me
I've got no money and daddy don't like my ease
I wanna steal you like a pearl
I wanna just steal you like a diamond
I wanna steal you like a pearl
I wanna just steal you like a diamond
Let me take you to a beach in Alicante
Sleep on the strand to the breath of a Spaniard sea
Until you stray
Should have found you're not around
I would surely chase you down
Lure you in with a lonely sound
Then I'll have you
I wanna steal you like a pearl
I wanna just steal you like a diamond
Do I awake alone
The five dollar bill and yesterday's clothes
On the floor of a room of Calle Mayor
A better man paid for
Should have found you're not around
I would surely chase you down
Lure you in with a lonely sound
Then I'll have you
You've got a real shine set in fool's gold
I am the fool
Your pearls are plastic and diamond's glass
Now I'm alone, now I'm alone
Should have found you're not around
I would surely chase you down
Lure you in with a lonely sound
Then I'll have you [x2]
