Lyrics[]

Bitch !

You're a thief of hearts
And now you'll have to pay
How many licks does it take ?
You're a thief of hearts
And now you'll have to pay
Which leg do you want me to break ?
You'll be sorry
You'll be sorry

Here she comes
Little Miss thinks she can have what she wants
In a blink of an eye
Here she comes
Acts like she's your best friend
Then you turn your back and she's off with your guy

She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Someone please arrest her
She's a thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine

And gets away with it
Not this time

Here she comes acting all dejected
So you give advice and she gives you her poison
Here she comes little miss black widow
First she spins her web and she's stealing your boyfriend

She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Someone please arrest her
She's a thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine

Thief of hearts - bitch

You'll do it
You'll take it
You'll screw it
You'll fake it
Undo it
You'll break it
You're over
You can't take it
You'll do it
You'll take it
You'll screw it
You'll fake it
Undo it
You'll break it
You're over
You can't take it

You can't take it
Not what's mine
I could break you
'Cause what you've done is a crime... bitch
He's mine

Here she comes little miss thinks she can have his child
Well anybody can do it
Here she comes little susie ho-maker
Thinks she'll get respect if she screws it

She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Someone please arrest her
She's a thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine

Bitch !

You'll do it
You'll take it
You'll screw it
You'll fake it
Undo it
You'll break it
You're over
You can't take it
You'll do it
You'll take it
You'll screw it
You'll fake it
Undo it
You'll break it
You're over
You can't take it

You can't take it
Not what's mine
You'll be sorry
'Cause what you've done is a crime

She's a thief of hearts
Thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine
She's a thief, thief, thief
Thief, thief, thief
She's a thief, thief, thief
Thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine

You're a thief of hearts
And now you'll have to pay
How many licks does it take
You're a thief of hearts
And now you'll have to pay
Which leg do you want me to break

Stop bitch !
Now sit your ass down !
