YOU STOLE MY HEART
(Music: Taylor; Lyrics: Steph / Taylor)

So you've gone and left me for a new lover,
Hopped out of my bed into the arms of another,
You stole my heart, so I stole your leg,
If you want it back, you'll have to beg.

My story should begin, on how you lost your limb,
Oh so many years ago,
A swim in the Nile, a hungry crocodile,
Left you leg-less in Cairo.
With a prosthetic limb, you still looked trim,
A bionic man and more,
In sickness and health, I was true to myself,
Until you ran off with a whore.

So you've gone and left me for a new lover,
Hopped out of my bed into the arms of another,
You stole my heart, so I stole your leg,
If you want it back, you'll have to beg.

I wanted revenge, I couldn't rest,
I followed you to your little love nest,
You were asleep when I broke down the door,
I found your leg lying on the floor.
You'll be hopping mad and I'll be glad,
It's pay-back time, I don't feel bad,
You'll crawl to me upon one knee,
Because the other one was stolen by me.

You called me a bitch and you called me a witch,
When I put a spell on you.
You gave me, a disability,
When you tore my heart in two.

So you've gone and left me for a new lover,
Hopped out of my bed into the arms of another,
You stole my heart, so I stole your leg,
If you want me back, you'll have to beg.

My anger spent, I took your leg and went,
To the beach for a holiday,
The leg I threw, out into the blue,
And watched it float away.
You came to call, on two legs standing tall,
And asked me to confess,
The leg I took was spare, just one of a pair,
Prescribed by the NHS.

So you've gone and left me for a new lover,
Hopped out of my bed into the arms of another,
You stole my heart, so I stole your leg,
If you want me back, you'll have to beg.

So you've gone and left me for a new lover,
Hopped out of my bed into the arms of another,
You'd better watch out, now I know your secret,
Now I know about your good leg,
And I know where you keep it.
