You stole a little love
When you already had enough
You thought you were all alone
But I saw you pick it up
You borrowed a little time
With a whisper and a shout
Moving fast it gave a shine
But it cast the shadow of a doubt
It cast the shadow of a doubt
Now when she asks you, let her know
And when you have to, let it go
A stolen love
A stolen love
Just don't grow
You took it in your hand
Then you turned and you walked away
Now a bird with nowhere to land
You turned it to a stray
You turned it to a stray
