Spoken:

I went to the auditorium one night

To see a show

And B. B. King was singin' the blues

And another good friend of mine

By the name of Bobby Bland

He was there, too

I met a woman

That told me

'Don, I'm free, single and dis-engaged'

But I found out she was married

And now it's six months too late.

Sings:

Lord, I stole some love

But I didn't know

Children, I stole some love

Now, I gotta go back

An steal some more

And when you're stealin' love

Oh, how time just slip on right away

And I have so much love to give ya baby!

In the little time

That you have to stay

Lord, I stole some love

But I didn't know

I stole some love

And I never stole nothin'

In my life before

And when you borrow love

Seems like it's much sweeter

Lord, that way

And it makes me want ya, baby

But you got so little time

That you have to stay

Spoken:

Lord, each stolen moment

Makes me a bigger thief

But I'd rather be with you

Just a little while, baby

Then a life time of grief

I know that you're not gonna give up

What you got at home

And I don't want this thing to end

So I'll go on bein' just a stand in

Tap-Tap-Tap <sound of judges gavel>

Judge Speaks:

'Don, you just been found guilty

By Judge Cupid, for stealin' the love

Of another man'

Don spoken:

Lord, have mercy on my soul!

How much good lovin' have I stole?

Don sings:

I stole some love, ya'all

I didn't know, after I stole

I didn't know this

Lord, it was so good ya'all

Got to go back and steal

Just a little bit mo'

Lord, the woman's so sweet

I just can't stay away

FADES-

Lord, you try to heal me

Oh, try to heal me

Lord, Lord.
