Lyrics Steal Away (Version 1) - Johnnie Taylor

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
