Steal Your Heart Away Songtext
von Bonnie Raitt

I know you got a different picture in mind
Some dream a world all of different kind
I know this rhythm we′ve been moving to is way too slow, baby
Each time our bodies are supposed to meet
But I'm here, still missing a beat
And when I look at you, I see in your eyes
We′re still dancing to a different tune

Take me to your dreaming place
But open up my eyes
Let me see what it takes to be
Your lover in disguise
Show me how I do those things
Make you want to stay
'Cause I'll go crazy if I don′t find
The words I gotta say
"Steal your heart away" (steal your heart away)
(Steal your heart)


I′ll buy you diamonds, golden rings, babe
But all kinds of beautiful things
But that don't matter to a lover with a restless heart, no, no, babe
You still wanna wake up to a different scene
Some screen gem like the one in your dream
And leave me standing like a fool in the wings
Still waiting for a part to play

But you take me to that dreaming place
Open up my eyes
Let me see what it takes to be
Your lover in disguise
Why don′t you show me how I can do those things?
Make you want to stay
'Cause I′ll go crazy if I don't find
The words I gotta say
Wanna steal your heart away (steal your heart away)
I can′t wait another day

I can't wait, baby
Ah, don't make me wait

And I know you think she′s right for you
She′s in tune with what you do
She can touch you deep inside
Where all your deepest feelings lie
But I got something you should know
'Fore she starts to hurt you so
You can bet your life she′s gonna hurt you


Maybe you think that it's alright
And to leave me waiting every night
Put me down in company
In front of everyone we see
To take my loving when it′s free
And then to throw it back at me

Well, baby, I just can't stand it
I can be the one for you
I can make your dreams come true
And I can love you like she can
′Cause no fancy clothes don't make no woman
Believe me baby
I got what it takes to make you feel

I can be the one for you
I can make your dreams come true
Believe me, baby
I got what it takes to make you feel

Maybe you think a girl should be
Perfect as a girl can be
To love you when you're feeling down
Miss you when you′re not around
Well, I can′t be that one for you
I can only be the one that loves you

Hey, what's this on your mind? Sound so good to me
Hey, hey, what′s this change on your mind?
Hey, hey, hey, I have what it take to make you feel alright
Hey, hey, hey, leave me, baby
Hey, hey, hey, I can still feel so good
