Hot Rock Lyrics

    I'm onto you
    Before the night is through
    I'm going to steal this diamong
    Hot rock to you

    How am i to know what you want me to feel?
    Counterfeit or real?
    I'm not the one you wanted
    Not the thing you keep

    It's a caper theme, there's a getaway car
    A diamond to steal, a plan that might go wrong
    If this is a set up, please let me know
    I can't risk my life for a guilded stone
    (i thought all along this was everything
    Try not to look to hard to find that it's not real
    I knew all along you weren't everything
    Then in the darkest hour i watched you disappear)

    It's a crafty scene, full of power and greed
    You tell me not to steal, yet you still want a thief
    You write out the plans, i carry out the act
    But then i lose it all if i can't bring it back
    (how was i to know this rock was so fragile
    It cracked in my hands while i was holding on
    An uncut stone is flawed and beautiful
    Don't try to size me down to fit your tiny hands)

    It's not real
    You don't need to tell me
    That it's not real

    I'm onto you
    Before the night is through
    I'm going to steal my heart back
    And find a love that's true
    Hot rock to you
