What’s a little thief got to do
Just to steal a little time with you
I’d plan an elaborate and daring heist
Cause I think you’re really nice, that’s right
I could do it tonight

I’d empty out the national treasury
If I thought that it would make you see
You’re the only real treasure to me

I’d happily lift some priceless art
Just to decorate my apartment for
You to come over more
And I’d abscond with the great Hope Diamond
Cause I'm hoping you’ll see that I'm in love
La-la-la-love

Would you like golden bars or coins?
I could do some sweet purloining for you baby, yeah
I’d blow up a bank vault with C-4
If you would just take pity on my poor, poor, poor, poor heart

We could travel round the world just a-robbing it blind
And what I seek I hope I’ll find in you
Loving me too
I could dig a tunnel beneath the ground
So we could have a night out under the town, oh no
Come on, baby, let’s go

And I’ll pick a pocket where there’ll be a ring
How did that guy know it’s the very thing I need
Well he’s done a good deed

Baby I would plunder, embezzle or housebreak for you
I could burgle anything we needed, darling
I know that I'm wanted by the law
But really that’d be the only flaw in a perfect world
Of you
And me
And a little larceny
La-la-la-larceny

My la-la-la-love
