I WAS A TEENAGE SHOPLIFTER

CHORUS
Oh I oh I WAS A TEENAGE SHOPLIFTER ooh ooh
I oh I WAS A TEENAGE SHOPLIFTER um hum

Took a stroll down to Macy's
Really nothin' to do
Checkin' out the men's clothing
And maybe, maybe pick up some shoes
Took a look 'round the corner
Ain't nobody in sight
I'll just pocket this leather
And maybe wear them tonight

CHORUS

Kleptomania's got me
Caught me stealing new shoes
If my mom ever finds out
This white boy is gonna be
Singin' the Blues
Where do you think you're goin'?
Heard the store dick say
I dropped a load in my trousers
How could it happen this way?

CHORUS

Hey mister give me a break
I'm just a punk who made a mistake
Hey mister let me be your friend
You know I won't be doin' this again

Send me up to the doctor
Put a shrink on my case
If my mom ever finds out
I'm thinkin' gonna be livin' disgrace
Lookin' like there is no way out
I'm begnning to see
Kleptomania's trouble
How could this happen to me?

CHORUS
Kleptomania's got me
