TV Girl - Taking What's Not Yours

Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-

And I don't really know if she cares or not
All I know is she left a lot of stuff
In my apartment, she's never getting back
As her smell off a pillow fades
Her cigarettes might stay
Like a Roman Coliseum
A dry and worthless monument to our love

Ooh, I still have your lighter
Ooh, I still have your book
Ooh, I still have everything you brought
But you never took
You know where to find me
And I know where to look
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm not a, not a crook-crook

Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not-

And I don't really know if she knows or not
But I left some things in her jewelry box
And she's wearin' out my rings
Taking the compliments meant for me
And although I think I'll miss them
At least there's proof of my existence
A captive little soldier on her fingers
Deep behind enemy lines

Ooh, I still have your lighter
Ooh, I still have your book
Ooh, I still have everything you brought
But you never took
You know where to find me
And I know where to look
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm not a, not-not a, not-not a, I'm not a crook-crook-crook

Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-

My copy of Gravity's Rainbow
That she probably didn't read
And how about my Laura Nyro record
She probably threw away when she moved?
And how about the half a box of lentils
From when I cooked her food, that she probably didn't use?

I wanna dedicate this jam
To all those things I left behind in girls' apartments
And various domiciles over the years
Sometimes you gotta leave in a hurry, man, what can I say?
Except I didn't forget about any of it
Takin' it all back, one by one

Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
Thievin', stealin', takin' what's not yours
Takin' what's not yours, takin' what's not yours, is that-
