You can strike a man, but I couldn't
You can even rob a bank, but I wouldn't
You can break the law in a thousand different ways
The straight and narrow is a path from which I rarely stray
But I would gladly steal her heart
You can forget your lock and key
Yes I would gladly steal her heart
I'd pay any price just to have her
Yes I would gladly steal her heart
If my brother ever lets go of her
He never wines her, or dines her, and often maligns her
Just a trophy on his shelf he won, then he put away
But, oh, she's like a diamond, flawless and perfect
So here I wait in his shadow for the day
Yes I would gladly steal her heart
You can forget your lock and key
Yes I would gladly steal her heart
I'd pay any price just to have her
Oh yes, I would gladly steal her heart
If my brother ever lets go of her
I would gladly steal her heart
I would gladly steal her heart
I would gladly steal her heart
I would gladly steal her heart away
Away away away
I would gladly steal her heart
I would gladly steal her heart
I would gladly steal her heart
I would gladly steal her heart
Away, away, away, away
Yes I would gladly steal her heart
You can forget your lock and key
Yes I would gladly steal her heart
I'd pay any price just to have her
Oh yes, I would gladly steal her heart
If my brother ever lets go
If my brother ever lets go
If my brother ever lets go
If my brother ever lets go
If my brother ever lets go of her
Mmmm.
