[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
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
When you turn your back and she's off with your guy
[Chorus]
She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts?
What she does 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
She's a thief of hearts (Of hearts, of hearts)
Thief of hearts, what she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts (Of hearts, of hearts)
Thief of hearts, no one ever takes what's mine
She's a thief, thief
Thief, thief
She's a 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?
[Outro]
Stop, bitch!
Now sit your ass down
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
