Lyrics

On the silent steps, it will creep up on you
In a mystic form, 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's steal, steal, steal, steal, stealing in the middle of the night
It's always steals up in the middle of the night
