Thievin´, stealin´, takin´ what´s not yours That´s thievin´, stealin´, takin´ what´s not yours
I don´t really know if she cares or not All I know is she left a lot of Stuff in my apartment She´s never getting back And as her smell on my pillow fades Her cigarettes might stay Like a Roman Coliseum A dry and worthless monument to our love
I still have your lighter I still have your book I still have everything you brought But you never took You know where to find me And I know where to look (I´m not a crook)
Thievin´, stealin´, takin´ what´s not yours That´s thievin´, stealin´, takin´ what´s not yours
And I don´t really know if she knows or not But I left some things in her jewelry box And she´s wearing down my rings Taking the compliments meant for me And although I think I´ll miss them At least there´s proof of my existence A captive little soldier on her fingers Deep behind enemy lines
I still have your lighter I still have your book I still have everything you brought But you never took
You know where to find me And I know where to look
(I´m not a crook) Thievin´, stealin´, takin´ what´s not yours That´s thievin´, stealin´, takin´ what´s not yours
A copy of Gravity´s Rainbow that she probably didn´t read How about my Laura Nyro record she probably threw away when she moved How about the half box of lentils when I cooked her food that she probably didn´t use
I wanna dedicate this jam
To all those things I left behind in girls´ apartments and various domiciles over the years Sometimes you gotta leave in a hurry man, what can I say Except I didn´t forget about any of it I´m taking it all back
