Thieves In The Temple Lyrics By Prince

    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 because 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 all apart
    because me and you could have been a 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
    hurt me

    love come quick
    love come in a hurry
    there are thieves in the temple tonight
    thieves in the temple

    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 thieves in the temple
    you lie love come lie in a hurry lie
    thieves in the temple
