Lyrics
[Intro]
Thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours, that
[Verse 1]
I don't really know if she cares or not
All I know is she left a lot of stuff in my apartment
She's never getting back
As her smell on my pillow fades
Her cigarettes might stay
Like a Roman Coliseum
A dry and worthless monument to our love
[PreChorus]
Ooh, I still have your lighter
Ooh, I still have your book
Ooh, I still have everything you brought, but you never took
You know where to find me
And I know where to look
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not a, not a crook, crook
[Chorus]
Thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not
[Verse 2]
And I don't really know if she knows or not
But I left some things in her jewelry box
And she's wearing out my rings
Taking the compliments meant for me
And although I think I'll miss them
At least there's proof of my existence
A captive little soldier on her fingers
Deep behind enemy lines
[PreChorus]
Ooh, I still have your lighter
Ooh, I still have your book
Ooh, I still have everything you brought but you never took
You know where to find me
And I know where to look
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
Not a, not, not a, not, not a
I am not a crook, crook
[Chorus]
Thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours, that
[Bridge]
My copy of Gravity's Rainbow that she probably didn't read
And how about my Laura Nyro record she probably threw away when she moved
And how about the half a box of lentils from when I cooked her food that she probably didn't use
I wanna dedicate this jam
To all those things I left behind in girls' apartments and various domiciles over the years
Sometimes you gotta leave in a hurry, man, what can I say?
Except I didn't forget about any of it
I'm taking it all back
[Chorus]
Thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours
That thievin', stealin', taking what's not yours
Taking what's not yours, taking what's not yours, that
