You Cannot Steal Diamons

I cannot help but feel that if only I had [Karin]

One more chance to tell you how I steal [N]

You would applaud my thieving aptitude [F]

And lodge on my behalf, a bold appeal [N]

And learn to love the stolen diamond you wear, my dear. [Karin]

I cannot help but feel that if only I said [baoloa]

"I am not a mere burglar, darling, but a cat thief" [F]

You would understand my life's calling [N]

And not cause me so much needless grief [F]

I cannot help but feel that if only you were [baoloa]

Less moralistic and had nicer legs [F]

You would understand why I'm divorcing you and marrying her [Karin]

And not have put in this one basket all your eggs [F]

So to you my dear I bid adieu. [Karin]
