You stacked the deck, you didn't gamble at all
You knew exactly how the cards would fall
You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains
It was the crime of the century
You played Robin Hood an' rescued me
An' if I live to be a hundred an' one
You came on like Jesse James
I'm gonna lock you up for life with me
It was love in the third degree
To do it all over again
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
It was the crime of the century
Out there on the line
I'm gonna lock you up for life with me
I bet you had an ace up your sleeve
Ain't got nothin' on you
One too many times
I had this heart of mine locked away
I didn't even stand a chance
You played Robin Hood and rescued me
You took my hand an' made me believe
Ain't got nothin' on you
It was the crime of the century
And here I thought that you were so naive
You came on like Jesse James
I'm gonna lock you up for life with me
Ali Baba an' the Forty Thieves
Honey, don'cha think that it would be fun
You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains
Ain't got nothin' on you
It was the crime of the century
You came on like Jesse James
That's how you get when you're hurt to the bone
It was the crime of the century
I had enough of the games they play
You bet your heart, but as I recall
Ali Baba an' the Forty Thieves
You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains
I'm gonna lock you up and throw away the key
It was the crime of the century
It was the crime of the century
In love an' real romance
I kept my guard up night and day
You played Robin Hood an' rescued me
