  • From the moment I met you, everything changed
    I knew I had to get you, whatever the pain
    I had to take you and make you mine (take you and make you mine)
    I would walk through the desert
    I would walk down the aisle
    I would swim all the oceans just to see you smile
    Whatever it takes is fine (whatever it takes is fine)

    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
    So put your hands up
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
    'Cause it's a stand up
    And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing
    Every piece of your heart, every piece of your heart

    I know your hearts been broken, but don't you give up
    I'll be there, yeah, I know it, to fix you with love
    It hurts me to think that you've ever cried (you've ever cried)

    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
    So put your hands up
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
    'Cause it's a stand up
    And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing
    Every piece of your heart, every piece of your heart
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
    So put your hands up
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
    'Cause it's a stand up
    And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing
    Every piece of your heart

    Then I will steal us a car
    And we will drive to the stars
    I will give you the moon
    It's the least I can do if you give me the chance

    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
    So put your hands up
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
    'Cause it's a stand up

    I'm a thief, I'm a thief (you can call me a thief)
    I'm a thief, I'm a thief (but you should know your part)
    I'm a thief, I'm a thief (I'm only here)
    I'm a thief, I'm a thief (because you stole my heart)

    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
    So put your hands up
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
    'Cause it's a stand up
    And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing (I'm only here)
    Every piece of your heart
    'Cause you stole my heart

    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
    Call me a thief
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
    But you should know your part
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
    I'm only here
    Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
