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
