Sweet Little Thief

Verse 1

You took the sugar from my tea

And somehow that's supposed to be fine

I keep your sweater on the chair

Folded twice

Just in case you change your mind

Pre-Chorus

And it's terribly kind of you

To leave me the good half of the bed

So thoughtful

So thoughtful

Chorus

Oh you sweet little thief

You sweet little thief

You stole my whole morning and left me the eve

Oh you sweet little thief

Verse 2

I made your favorite soup again

A pot too big for just one spoon

You always said my timing's off

Well darling

You should see me now at noon

Pre-Chorus

And it's awfully decent of you

To let me keep the songs we knew

So generous

So generous

Chorus

Oh you sweet little thief

You sweet little thief

You stole my whole summer and left me the leaves

Oh you sweet little thief

Bridge

You could have slammed the door

You could have been unkind

Instead you left a note

Taped to the coffee tin

Chorus

Oh you sweet little thief

You sweet little thief

You took the better half and you left me the grief

Oh you sweet little thief

Sweet little thief

Sweet little thief
