I’m a lover by night, burglar by day
I don’t need dynamite, I’m gonna steal your heart away
Now you say you don’t trust me, and I say that’s a crime
Cause iffen they don’t bust me I’ll show you a real good time
I’m a lover by night, burglar by day
I plan everything just right, I’m gonna steal your heart away
Baby you know I love you truly, I would never let you down
You can hang on to your jewellery, just don’t leave no loving lying round
I’ll be using my jemmy and my skeleton key
Maybe then you’ll lemme take you home with me
I’m a lover by night, burglar by day
I plan everything just right, I’m gonna steal your heart away
La la la la la lover by night, La la la la la lover by night
I’m a lover by night, burglar by day
I don’t need dynamite, I’m gonna steal your heart away
Honey I don’t want your diamonds, got no need for rubies and pearls
Your money is surplus to requirements, I just wanna make you my girl
So don’t put up no struggle, you know you just can’t win
Save yourself some trouble, open up and let me in
I’m a lover by night, burglar by day
I don’t need dynamite, I’m gonna steal your heart away
La la la la la lover by night
La la la la la lover by night
La la la la la lover by night
