Stealin'

(album: Happy Just To Be Like I Am - 1971)

I'm just stealing, stealing
Pretty mama, don't you tell on me
Ooh, stealing back
To my same old used-to-be

I would just love to have a farm
Where I could grow some poor beans and corn
Have a few animals 'round there, baby, that I could call my own
And you could cook in the kitchen, baby, at your own free will
I love you like a doggone [?], baby, [?]

That's why I'm stealing, stealing
Pretty mama, don't you tell on me
Oh, I'm stealing back
To my same old used-to-be

Woman, won't you put your arms around
Like the circle 'round the sun
Oh lord, do me, pretty baby, like that ol' easy rider of mine done
Well, we rolled and we rocked 'til the break of day
Then we, then we rolled and we rocked in the hayloft in the hay

That's why I'm stealing, stealing
Pretty mama, don't you tell on me
Jump back, I'm stealing back
To my same old used-to-be

The woman I love, she ain't no hand-me-down
She's a real biffed up woman, biffed up flying off the ground
Oh, I love her, kiss her, hug her, then some
I'm'a love this woman 'til the cows come home

I'm just stealing, stealing
Pretty mama, don't you tell on me
I'm stealing back
To my same old used-to-be

I'm just stealing, baby, stealing, can't you see
Mama, don't you tell on me
If you don't think I love you, look what a fool, a fool I am, trust me
If you don't think I'm sinking
Look what a hole I'm jump back

I'm stealing, stealing
Mama, don't you tell on me
I'm stealing back
To my same old used-to-be

Love you, baby, you're my heart desire
Please come over here, mama, and rub on me a while
I love you, pretty baby, yes, I do
I can't love anybody else, else, else but you

I'm stealing, stealing
Pretty mama, don't you tell on me
I'm stealing back
To my same old used-to-be
