Gold Thieves

two of us thick as thieves
telling lies so sweet
they taste like truth

i’ve been blind - now i see
what she means to me
and it feels like love

lady heartache why won’t you let me be?
she’s got the love of another man
she don’t need me

two of us good as gold
telling tales so old
they must be true

friend of mine didn’t know
spotted us alone
he said it looked like love

lady heartache why won’t you let me be?
she’s got the love of another man
she don’t need me

wish i’d told her then what i know now
but the moment’s gone and time keeps marching on
so i seal my lips without her kiss
and make out like nothing’s wrong

lady heartache why won’t you let me be?
if home is where the heart is
there’s no place for me
