Steal a Little

[Verse 1: Rufus Thomas]
We can’t date like other people date
We just got to wait and oh, what a chance to take

[Chorus: Rufus Thomas & Carla Thomas]
We just got to steal a little if we wanna share our love
But stealing is so good
Stealing is good
Kind of dangerous, but it’s good
So good

[Verse 2: Rufus Thomas]
We can’t talk to each other on the telephone
You got a husband, woman, and I, I got a wife at home

[Chorus: Rufus Thomas & Carla Thomas]
We just got to steal a little if we wanna share our love
Stealing is so good
Stealing is good
Kind of dangerous, but it’s good
So good
Mm-hmm

[Verse 3: Rufus Thomas]
Oh, they say the climb don’t take
Oh, I know, I know, I know that stealing is a crime
What am I to do? What am I to do?
When somebody, somebody, somebody is stealing mine?

[Verse 4: Rufus Thomas]
We can’t walk down the street like there people do
That’s too many people know me and you

[Chorus: Rufus Thomas & Carla Thomas]
We just got to steal a little if we wanna share our love
But stealing is so good
Stealing is good
It’s kind of dangerous, but it’s good
So good, so good
Oh, stealing is so good
Stealing is good
Stealing is so good
So good, so good
Well the cotton fields of Mississippi
Stealing is good
When you steal a little
So good, so good
When you steal a little
Way up in New York City
Stealing is good
It’s so good
So good, so good
When you steal, baby
