Help I've been robbed

Stick-up, highway robbery

Stole my love from me--it's a case of grand larceny

Stick-up, highway robbery

It's a felony--heartbreak in the first degree

He walked into my life hungry for love

So sweet and cautiously he chased my love

A devil in disguise, he fooled my heart

Tricked me into the dark, "HOLD UP"--I was shocked

Pulled his charms, took me in his arms

Stole my love, and now he's gone

Stick-up, highway robbery

Stole my love from me it's a case of grand larceny

Stick-up, highway robbery

It's a felony heartbreak in the first degree

A thief in the night, he stole my mind

Breaking lover's hearts should be a crime

But he'll return to the scene of the crime

I'll set a tender trap, he'll be unaware

I'll wear a smile down the aisle

'Cause he's the father of my child

Stick-up, highway robbery

Stole my love from me--it's a case of grand larceny

Stick-up, highway robbery

It's a felony heartbreak in the first degree

Help I've been robbed

Stick-up, highway robbery

Stole my love from me it's a case of grand larceny

Stick-up, highway robbery

It's a felony heartbreak in the first degree
