Steal Away Lyrics
[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
Come on and hold me
Just like you told me
Then show me
What I want to know
[Chorus 1]
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
[Verse 2]
Don't tease me
Why don't you please me
And show me
What you came here for
[Chorus 1]
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
[Verse 1]
Come on and hold me
Just like you told me
Then show me
What I want to know
[Chorus 1]
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
[Verse 2]
Don't tease me
Why don't you please me
And show me
What you came here for
[Chorus 1]
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
[Hook]
Into the night, babe
Baby, tonight
Ooh
[Bridge]
I caught you glancing my way
And I know what you're after
No second chances tonight
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
[Hook]
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Into the night
I know it ain't right
[Chorus 2]
Why don't we steal away
I know it ain't right
Into the night, babe
Into the night, babe
Baby, tonight
Ooh
[Bridge]
I caught you glancing my way
And I know what you're after
No second chances tonight
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
[Hook]
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Into the night
I know it ain't right
[Chorus 2]
Why don't we steal away
I know it ain't right
Into the night, babe
Why don't we steal away
Make it tonight
Why don't we steal away
Make it tonight
Why don't we steal away
