Prince - Thieves in the Temple Lyrics

Love come quick, love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight
They don't care where they kick
Just as long as they hurt you
There are thieves in the temple tonight

Love if you're there come save me
From all this cold despair
I can hang when you're around
But I'll surely die if you're not there

Love come quick, love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight
I feel like I'm looking for my soul
(Soul)
Like a poor man looking for gold
(Gold)
There are thieves in the temple tonight

Voices from the sky
Say rely on your best friend to pull you through
But even if I wanted to I couldn't really truly
'Cause my only friend is you

Come on, there are thieves in the temple tonight
Kicking me in my heart, tearing me all apart
(Tearing me, tearing me, tearing me, tearing me all apart)
'Cause me and you could've been work of art
(Thieves in the temple)

Baby, don't you know I'm holding on the best that I can
Love please help me be the better man
Better than the thieves
(In the temple)
In the temple tonight, oh thieves in the temple
(Tonight)
Tonight

Help me, love come quick, love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight

Thieves in the temple tonight
(You said you loved me)
Thieves in the temple
(You said I was your friend)
Thieves in the temple
(You were supposed to take care of me)

Love come quick
(You lied)
Love come in a hurry
(You lied, lied)
Thieves in the temple tonight
(Lied)
