Steal Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don`t you wanna steal it (steal it)
I wanna steal it (steal it)
Let me see you steal it (steal it)
I`ve got to see you somehow
Not tomorrow, right now
I know it`s late, I can`t wait
Come on, steal away
Won`t you let me steal it
Don`t wanna start thinking
I might change my mind
Everybody`s sleeping
Let`s not waste any time
I know it`s late, I can`t wait
Girl, you got to wanna steal it
I know it`s wrong
Meeting you this way
There`s no other way
That I can be with you
If only your folks
Would approve
Things like this, you and I
Wouldn`t have to do, no, no
Steal it, lord, have mercy
I got to steal it
Soembody out there
They wanna steal it
They wanna steal it
I know it`s late, I can`t wait
Won`t you help me steal it
I know it`s wrong
Meeting you this way
There`s no other way
That I can be with you
If only, if only, if only
Your folks would approve
Things like this, we
Wouldn`t have to do, no
I won`t tell
I won`t tell nobody else
I`m gonna keep it to myself
I know it`s late
Don`t you hesitate
Come on and steal away
Let me steal your love
trying to criticize me
But you would be doing
The same thing that I`m doing
Everybody wanna steal away
Lord, please don`t criticize me
I`m trying to steal a little love
Don`t you want to steal away
Don`t you want to steal away
Don`t you want to steal away
