Emotions - Stealin' Love lyrics

rate me

(Isaac Hayes/David Porter)

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?
