about

Originally recorded by Rank Amateurs, a songwriting duo made up of Andrew Bergey and yours truly.

I've recorded a few versions of this over the years - the tune really sticks to me. The latest can be found on True Tales, also available on this site.

The original RA recording can be found courtesy of Andy Bergey's excellent web site - scroll down to track four:

lyrics

BREAKING AND ENTERING by A. Bergey/K.Dennis

She's got a crime in mind
She won't let on
She's got a plan in hand
When I am gone
Breaking and entering
My heart is on her string

She can't help it, it's her habit
When I'm not there, she will grab it
I'm elsewhere and absent-minded
Leave my heart where she could find it
She will take it, it's a steal
She has found out where I feel

She's got a scheme from dreams
A second try
There's a part on my heart
Where she can pry
Breaking and entering
My heart is on her string
