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