I was into beinī out on my own
I could take love or leave it alone
Thatīs how you get when youīre hurt to the bone
One too many times
I had this heart of mine locked away
I kept my guard up night anī day
I had enough of the games they play Out there on the line...
It was the crime of the century
You played Robin Hood anī rescued me
Ali Baba anī the Forty Thieves
Ainīt got nothinī on you
You came on like Jesse James
You stole my heart like you were robbinī trains
Iīm gonna lock you up for life with me
It was the crime of the century
You stacked the deck, you didnīt gamble at all
You knew exactly how the cards would fall
You bet your heart, but as I recall
I didnīt even stand a chance
I bet you had an ace up your sleeve
Anī here I thought that you were so naive
You took my hand anī made me believe
In love anī real romance...
It was the crime of the century
You played Robin Hood anī rescued me
Ali Baba anī the Forty Thieves
Ainīt got nothinī on you
You came on like Jesse James
You stole my heart like you were robbinī trains
Iīm gonna lock you up for life with me
It was the crime of the century
Anī if I live to be a hundred anī one
Honey, donīcha think that it would be fun
To do it all over again...
It was the crime of the century
You played Robin Hood anī rescued me
Ali Baba anī the Forty Thieves
Ainīt got nothinī on you
You came on like Jesse James
You stole my heart like you were robbinī trains
Iīm gonna lock you up for life with me
It was the crime of the century
Iīm gonna lock you up and throw away the key
It was the crime of the century
It was love in the third degree
It was the crime of the century
