Johnnie Taylor › Lyrics › Steal Away

I've got to see you, oh somehow
Not tomorrow but, but right now
And I know it's late, but oh you don't make me wait
So come on baby let's steal away and oh let's steal away

Don't make me start thinking, 'cause I might change my mind
My folks are sleeping, so please not waste any time
And oh, and I know it's late, but oh please don't make me wait
So come on, come on let's steal away, please let's steal away

And I know it's wrong, it's wrong needing you this way
But there's no other way that I can be with you
If only my folks, if only my folks they would approve
Things like this, this we wouldn't, we wouldn't have to do

But oh, oh and I won't tell, and I won't tell anybody else
But oh I'm gonna keep it, I'm gonna keep it right here baby and all to myself
And oh and I know it's late, but oh don't make me wait
Please, please baby let's steal away, and oh I'm asking you to steal away

And oh, because I need you, I need you by my side
You know I need you baby, I need you to be my guy
Let's steal away right now, let's steal, steal
