Thief on the Loose

[Verse 1]
There's a thief on the loose, but nobody's talkin'
I stop my friends, but they just keep walkin'
On the way, they stop and stare at me
Close their eyes, they swear they couldn't see
That he was walking away with my heart
That he was walking away with my heart

There's a man on the lam hiding out in the city
I call the cop, but he shows no pity
Smiled and said, "He only mixed you up"
But ain't no crime he's gotta live without

[Chorus]
Better stop that man
Bring him back if you can
You gotta stop that man
'Cause he's walking away with my heart in his hands
Gotta stop that man
Be as fast as you can
Gotta stop that man
'Cause he's walking away with my heart in his hands

[Bridge]
I bet he's uptown, kickin' down all the women in this town
Stop, thief!
You know he's out of bounds and breaking down
All the hearts that he has found
Stop, thief!

I was a fine four-leafed picture
Of slick style and grace
Oh, warm restitution for that slap in the face
He used such deception
Like a white shirt and tie
Forgiven my trust, consider those lies

[Chorus]
Better stop that man
Bring him back if you can
You gotta stop that man
'Cause he's walking away with my heart in his hands
Gotta stop that man
Bring him back if you can
Gotta stop that man
'Cause he's walking away with my heart in his hands

[Outro]
Stop that man if you can
Stop that man
You better stop that man if you can
Stop that man
You better stop that man if you can
Stop that man
You better stop that man if you can
Stop that man
You better stop that man if you can
Stop that man
