[Verse 1]
The band had just started when they walked in the door
He sat her at a table and strolled out on the floor
He grabbed the first sweet thing that gave him the eye
And left the door open for the steal of the night

Three dances later
She was still in her chair
He was still on the dance floor like he didn't care
So I eased on over
There was no ring in sight
And I found myself facing the steal of the night

[Chorus]
She was the steal of the night
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night
Her long hair flowing and her jeans so tight
I held her close and it felt so right

She was the steal of the night
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night
He left her lonely and the pickings were right
She was the steal of the night

[Verse 2]
We danced every slow one the band could play
Was it ever this easy for ol Jesse James
Had the gold in my hands and the banker was blind
Just inches away from the steal of the night
When the band stopped playing
We walked to the car
As I closed the door he ran out of the bar
Saw him shaking his fist under the parking lot light
As I strolled away with the steal of the night

[Chorus 2x]
