On the silent step, it will creep up on you In the mystic balm, it will kiss you too It will make you run until you wanna cry Hurt yourself, make you wanna sigh Be careful, be careful, love gets a hold on you Like a thief in the night Stealing, stealing, stealing It will make you run until you wanna cry Hurt yourself, make you wanna sigh Be careful, be careful, love gets a hold on you Like a thief in the night I had a girl who wanted me to do Things that I really couldn't do So I packed her things and made her leave my home Never to come back anymore Be careful, be careful, love gets a hold on you Like a thief in the night It will make you run until you wanna cry Hurt yourself, make you wanna sigh Be careful, be careful, love gets a hold on you Like a thief in the night Stealing, stealing, stealing It always steals, steals, steals, steals, steals, steals in the middle of the night
