Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Run Like a Thief

Well it was alright at midnight and you fell out at three

So I made you warm and stoked the dying fire

When it all came down this morning you were lying next to me

How sweet the wine of desire

Well we cheated on a friend and cheaters never win

Though the truth I know would be a small relief

I could never be the one to say

Her best friend took you down

Gonna run in the night, hide when ever it's light

Gonna run in the night like a thief

It's just no use to think it over I was blind but now I see

Well she's coming back and I know just what I'll do

If it comes right down to you leaving her or staying here with me

How sweet the memory of you?

Well we cheated on a friend and it looks like I lose again

I could never be the one to say

Her best friend took you down

I'd rather run in the night, hide when ever it's light

Gonna run in the night like a thief

Like a thief in the night, hide when ever it's light

Gonna run in the night like a thief
