I went down to the center of the town
Beneath my feet was the burning ground
She stood on the corner, sexy as can be
Said hey good looking walk along with me
And I said yeah, huh, oh yeah
I’m your stealer, come to steal your love

Sun was shining, the world was bright
I said tell me darling
Where you gonna be tonight now
Goin’ ’round the corner
Where the music’s loud
I’m tired of the city
i’m gonna cat me around
And I said yeah, oh yeah
I’m your stealer, I come to steal your love

Goin’ ’round the corner
Where the music’s loud
I’m tired of the city
I’m gonna go cat me around
And I said yeah, oh yeah
I’m your stealer, come to steal your love
