It is simple, but lyrically very strong.

There are little moments of weakness admittedly, but overall I think it is a good song. Nice melodies and a little different for Jovi.

Would really like to hear it live, although I am aware that is almost certainly never going to happen
I like this one. In fact I like it much better than Last Man Standing... at least the This Left version. Had it been on This Left, it would have been one of the highlight.

It is very Tom Petty. In fact, the "hey baby" is very much like I won't back down. Maybe that is why I like it so much. If they had modeled more of Lost Highway or The Circle after old Tom Petty Songs, I'd probably like them a little bit more. Two story Town also reminds me of Tom Petty.... probably the similiar title to his One Story Town.... But anyway, yes, I like Thief of Hearts. It is not their best, but certainly not their worst.
