He sat her at a table and strolled out on the floor
 He grabbed the first sweet thang 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
 He 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

 We danced every slow one the band could play
 Was it ever this easy for ole 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

 (repeat chorus)
 (repeat chorus and fade out
