Thief In The Night

from Tomorrow's World by The Slack 5

/

lyrics

I thought we had a good connection
A relationship in the right direction
But all you saw in me was D.I.Y.
Then we finished the renovation
We were left with no foundations
You didn't even seem to try

When we came home from our holiday
The only thing you had to say
Was just “Get out of my life”
At the time I didn't really get it
And said can we just take a minute
To work out what's yours and mine

Chorus:
You were like a thief in the night
Common law doesn't make it alright
How could you break my heart that way
How can I get my clothes clean
When you've pinched my washing machine
You can get out but your things can stay

Getting what you could was your intention
And I lost more than I care to mention
You were the apple of my eye
But you are a one-off creation
So let me warn all the men in the nation
Not to fall for your cheeky smile
