Ugh... WORK... has crushed my writing time... now I'm up against the wall for 50!

I really like the idea of this jack@ss only out for himself looking for "love".... At this point I'll probably be posting rough ideas only - There's some repetition of thoughts verse to verse and rhyme scheme varies but I am liking how the lines are sounding and like where this is going...

Lyrics

V I
When I smile,
you can’t see
the dirt between my teeth
What I say
and thoughts I have
Swear I’s born a thief

C
Swear I’s born a thief
Yeah, Swear I’s born a thief
Taking all that I can get
Brings me sweet relief

V II
Take what I can get
High hem hand on your knee
Never see or smell that dirt
Give a button I’ll take your shirt
Get a peck take a kiss
Twist a button and undress

C
Swear I’s born a thief
Yeah, Swear I’s born a thief
Taking all that I can get
Brings me sweet relief

V III A zippy valentine, favorite sound
And Love’s beyond the flirt
Tumble into my arms babe
Fall into my heart
And I’ll help you step out of your skirt

Outro
Swear I’s born a thief
Yeah, Swear I’s born a thief
Crooked mind, crooked heart
Hide the dirt between my teeth

I love that line "When I smile, you can't see the dirt between my teeth" and the zippy rhythm of the lines, And getting to see what the singer would usually hide.

The chorus is my favorite part and you have some nice ideas in the verses, so far. A sense of humor in a song is a sign of true intelligence in a songwriter. Agree with @coolparadiso and @andrea

Your character is a dirty little scoundrel! This is witty and clever. I thought maybe he had turned a new side when he was said' Fall into my heart', but the next line set me straight -lol. I wouldn't want to know this guy, but I enjoyed your lyrics about him!
