Running down the street, getting blisters on my feet, up to everyone I meet, I shout stop, thief

She stole my heart today, please don't let her get away, up to everyone I say, why don't you stop, thief

Everybody knows she is running away from me

But our love was sure and people can't you see, you got to stop, thief, she's running away with my heart

Stop, thief, she's gonna get away

Hey you, have you seen a girl go by, I couldn't pay you, but I'd be grateful if you tried

You gotta stop, thief

Course her found for years, got to tell her how I feel, make a nationwide appeal for you to stop, thief

Kisses hardly cruel, now she's broken all the rules, I'm not anybody's fool, why don't you stop, thief

Now she's broke the law, gonna call the CID

I'll declare a war, don't you mess around with me, you got to stop, thief, she's running away with my heart

Stop, thief, she's gonna get away

Hey you, have you seen a girl go by, I couldn't pay you, but I'd be grateful if you tried

You got to stop, thief

Running on behind, I'm just wondering when I'll find, can I make or change your mind, you gotta stop, thief

Hung up by the rest, she surrenders to a kiss, and now she just knows what she's missed, I now say stop, thief

Now she's trying to fight, I won't ever let her go

The arrested girl is wrong, but I had to let her know, you gotta stop, thief, and she came back with my heart

Stop thief, she didn't get away
