The band had just started when they walked in the door 
                          D 
He sat her at a table and strolled out on the floor 
                                      G 
He grabbed the first sweet thang that gave him the eye 
    D                          A            D 
And left the door open for The Steal Of The Night 
                           A 
Three dances later she was still in her chair 
                                     D 
He was still on the dance floor like he didn't care 
                             G 
So I eased on over there was no ring in sight 
      D                       A            D 
And I found myself facin’ The Steal Of The Night. 
 

            G 
She was The Steal Of The Night 
                    D 
Oh yeah she was The Steal Of The Night 
                             A 
He long hair flowin’ and her jeans so tight 
                        D 
I held her close and it felt so right 
            G 
She was The Steal Of The Night 
                    D 
Oh yeah she was The Steal Of The Night 
                           A 
He left her lonely and the pickin’s were right 
                         D 
She was The Steal Of The Night.

   D                         A 
We danced every slow one the band could play 
                          D 
Was it ever this easy for ol’ Jesse James 
                                 G 
Had the gold in my hands and the banker was blind 
     D                    A            D 
Just inches away from The Steal Of The Night 
                                 A 
When the band stopped playing we walked to the car 
                            D 
As I closed the door he ran out of the bar 
                                   G 
Saw him shakin’ his fist under the parking lot light 
   D                        A            D 
As I strolled away with The Steal Of The Night.
