Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Steal Your Heart Away

I know you got a different picture in mind

Some dream world of a different kind

I know this rhythm we've been moving to is way too slow

Each time our bodies aresupposed to meet

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

Open up my eyes

Let me see what it takes to be

Your lover in disguise

show me how I do those things

That make you want to stay

'Cause I'll Go crazy if I don't find

The words I gotta say

To steal your heart away

I'll buy you diamonds, buy you golden rings

All kinds of Beautiful things

But that don't matter to a lover with a Restless heart

Cause you still want to wake up to a Different scene

Some screen gem like the one in your dream

And leave me standing like a foolin' the wings

Still waiting for a part to Play

Take me to your dreaming place

Open up my eyes

Let me see what it takes to be

Your lover in disguise

Show me? How I can do those things

That make you want to stay

Cause I'll go crazy if I don't find

The words I gotta say

To steal your heart away

I know you think she's right for you

That she's in tune with what you do

That she can touch you deep inside

Where all your deepest feelings lie

But I got something you should know

Before she starts to hurt you so

You can bet your life she's gonna hurt you

And maybe you think that it's alright

To leave me waiting every night

To 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

Cause I can be the one for you

And I can make your dreams come true

And I can love you like she can

Cause fancy clothes don't make no woman

Believe me baby

I got what it takes to make you feel good

And maybe you think a girl should be

As perfect as a girl can be

To love you when your feeling down

And 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

Hey, what's this change of mind

Hey, what's this on your mind
