CHORUS:
Love - come quick
Love - come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple 2night
They don't care when they kick, no
Just as long as they hurt U
There are thieves in the temple 2night
Love - if U're there come save me
From all this cold despair
I can hang when U're around
But I'll surely die if U're not there
CHORUS
(Hear me)
I feel like they're looking 4 my soul
Like a poor man looking for gold
There are thieves in the temple 2night
Voices from the sky say rely on your best friend
2 pull U through
But even if I wanted 2 I couldn't really truly
Cuz my only friend is U
Ah Love - come quick
Love - come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple 2night, oh Lord
Kicking me in my heart
Tearing me all apart
There are thieves in the temple 2night, yeah, hey
Thinking that they gonna change me
Taking me out of my misery
Thieves in the temple 2night, hmm
There are thieves, thieves
Thieves in the temple 2night
CHORUS
They don't care when they kick, no
Just as long as they hurt U
There are thieves in the temple 2night
Love - if U're there come save me
From all this cold despair
I can hang when U're around
But I'll surely die if U're not there
CHORUS
(Hear me)
Feel like they're looking 4 my soul
Like a poor man looking for gold
There are thieves in the temple 2night
Voices from the sky say rely on your best friend
2 pull U through
But even if I wanted 2 I couldn't really truly
Cuz my only friend is U
Ah Love - come quick
Love - come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple 2night, oh Lord
Kicking me in my heart
Tearing me all apart
There are thieves in the temple 2night, yeah, hey
Thinking that they gonna change me
Taking me out of my misery
Thieves in the temple 2night, hmm
There are thieves, thieves
Thieves in the temple 2night
Ah Love - come quick
Love - come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple 2night, oh Lord
Kicking me in my heart
Tearing me all apart
There are thieves in the temple 2night, yeah, hey
Thinking that they gonna change me
Taking me out of my misery
Thieves in the temple 2night {Fade out}
