Steal My Heart
Sniff 'n' the Tears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step into my tent girl let me hold you tight again
lose your blues remove your shoes take shelter from the rain
we can watch a movie or just talk about old times

Then I'm gonna let you steal my mind
then I'm gonna let you steal my time
don't make no decisions till you see what you can find
in my heart - 'cause
Then I'm gonna let you steal my heart
then I'm gonna let you steal my heart
steal my heart
steal my heart
gonna steal my heart

I've memorized those moving tunes to fill you with desire
worked out all the things to say to set your heart on fire
I've even bought your favorite food so that everything's just right

Then I'm gonna let you steal my mind
then I'm gonna let you steal my time
don't make no decisions till you see what you can find
in my heart - 'cause
Then I'm gonna let you steal my heart
then I'm gonna let you steal my heart
steal my heart
steal my heart
gonna steal my heart

I'll table my emotions relegate my pride
spill the beans by any means to keep you by my side
I'll play this like Olivier but I just won't be denied

Then I'm gonna let you steal my mind
then I'm gonna let you steal my time
don't make no decisions till you see what you can find
in my heart - 'cause
Then I'm gonna let you steal my heart
then I'm gonna let you steal my heart
steal my heart




steal my heart
gonna steal my heart
