Song Lyrics

Night after night
And we know it ain't right
But still we're stealin'

I'm caught up in somethin' I know is wrong
But I can't help myself
Even mama told me, leave home
I didn't even cry when I left

I don't like thieves but now I'm one
Every time I take your kiss
I only get to see you once a week
Other times I have to reminisce

Cause I'm stealin' love
I know it just ain't right but I'm stealin' love
I don't really wanna do it, stealin' love
Oh, yes, I am, stealin' love
What am I
(You're a love thief)

Funny, I don't hurt half as much
When you're lovin' me
And when we meet in strange places
That's where I wanna be

'Cause happiness don't come easy
You can't always get your way
But I'm gonna get some while I can
And hope for a better day

Cause I'm stealin' love
I know it ain't right y'all, I'm stealin' love
Yes, I am, I'm stealin' love
Yeah, I'm stealin' love
What did you say I was
(You're a love thief)

Hold me, hold me
And never let me go
Squeeze me, squeeze me
I may not get this chance no more, oh, baby

Ooh, I'm caught up in somethin' I know is wrong
I just can't help myself
Even mama told me, girl, leave home
I didn't even cry when I left

'Cause I'm stealin' love
I just can't help myself, I'm stealin' love
Yes, I am, stealin' love
You can call me a thief if you wanna

(Stealin' love)
I'm stealin' love, I know I am
(Stealin' love)
One thing I wanna tell you I know I'm not by myself
(Stealin' love)
I'm stealin' love, yes, I am,

I'm stealin' love, I wish I didn't have to do it this way, but I'm
(Stealin' love)
I know it's wrong, yes, I do
(Stealin' love)
Won't you come on and help me?
