My Thief Lyrics - Burt Bacharach

When I go to sleep, you become my thief 

Why don`t you steal what you can keep? 

But you won`t let me be 

You break into my dreams 

And every day seems different 

Sometimes I pretend you`ll come back again 

And you`ll console the heart you stole 

Have pity on the man 

Who knows that you have gone 

And has begun to break down

I feel almost possessed 

So long as I don`t lose this glorious distress then 

You can take all I have left 

I know it`s over 

If you can`t be my lover 

Be my thief 

I`m so drowsy now, I`ll unlock the door 

What fades in time will hurt much more 

So here`s that happy scene 

Where you come back to me 

It`s only found in fiction 

I feel almost possessed 

So long as I don`t lose this glorious distress then 

You can take all I have left 

I know it`s over 

If you can`t be my lover 

Be my thief

"I didn't lead you on, 

But there will always be 

A little larceny in everyone 

So hush and don`t you cry 

I`m trying to be kind 

Because I have a perfect alibi"
