STOLEN HEART BLUES

Country Joe McDonald


My friends tried to tell me, I wouldn't believe,
Better guard your emotions, that woman's a thief,

She'll steal away your heart,
She'll steal away your heart.
When you're not looking,
She'll steal away your heart.

I asked her sister, her sister said yes,
She's got that kind of lovin' you won't never forget.

She'll steal away your heart,
She'll steal away your heart.
When you're not looking,
She'll steal away your heart.

My friends tried to tell me, I couldn't see
They say love is blind ? well it sure blinded me.

She stole away my heart,
She stole away my heart.
When I wasn't looking,
She stole away my heart.

Church bells are ringing, I'm walkin' on air,
Somethin's burnin' in the kitchen, the smell of diapers everywhere.

She stole away my heart,
She stole away my heart.
When I wasn't looking,
She stole away my heart.

Some day grandchildren will climb up on my knee,
I'll tell them the stories 'bout their grandma and me,

How she stole away my heart,
She stole away my heart.
When I wasn't looking,
She stole away my heart.
