You aren’t that impressed with many men
Losing yourself to someone else would be a crime
You won’t close your eyes and let it ride
You calculate, anticipate, and bide your time

I know romance is a high-stakes robbery
A major heist that’s full of risk right from the start
Convict me now
I’m a well-known felon baby
I’ll do my time to be a prisoner of your heart

I watch you as you struggle to resist
I can feel all your defenses as they rise and shift
It’s such a crazy ride with shocking twists
When you discover that a rare find does exist

I know romance can be plain old larceny
And if it is, girl, then I hope you’ll play your part
Let me steal your soul and love you endlessly
Convict me now
I’ll be a prisoner of your heart

You can strip me down
You can lock me up
Bolt the door and throw away the key
I will break you down
Then I’ll raise you up
You won’t need to pay no penances to me

You know that love’s a brilliant crime in the first degree
A complex heist that we have risen to an art
And I’m as guilty as a guilty man can be
Convict me now, I’ll be a prisoner
Convict me now, I’ll be your prisoner
Convict me now
I’ll be a prisoner of your heart
