It was the crime of the century 
You played Robin Hood an` rescued me 
Ali Baba an` the Forty Thieves 
Ain`t got nothin` on you 
You came on like Jesse James 
You stole my heart like you were robbin` trains 
I`m gonna lock you up for life with me 
It was the crime of the century 
You stacked the deck, you didn`t gamble at all 
You knew exactly how the cards would fall 
You bet your heart, but as I recall 
I didn`t even stand a chance 
I bet you had an ace up your sleeve 
An` here I thought that you were so naive 
You took my hand an` made me believe 
In love an` real romance... 
It was the crime of the century 
You played Robin Hood an` rescued me 
Ali Baba an` the Forty Thieves 
Ain`t got nothin` on you 
You came on like Jesse James 
You stole my heart like you were robbin` trains 
I`m gonna lock you up for life with me 
It was the crime of the century 
An` if I live to be a hundred an` one 
Honey, don`cha think that it would be fun 
To do it all over again... 
It was the crime of the century 
You played Robin Hood an` rescued me 
Ali Baba an` the Forty Thieves 
Ain`t got nothin` on you 
You came on like Jesse James 
You stole my heart like you were robbin` trains 
I`m gonna lock you up for life with me 
It was the crime of the century 
I`m gonna lock you up and throw away the key 
It was the crime of the century 
It was love in the third degree 
It was the crime of the century
