SOMEONE CAN STEAL YOU FROM ME
(Hank Thompson)

If I can steal your love from someone else someone can steal you from me
If you can't be true to the one you have you wouldn't be true to me
A wedding ring can't mean a thing to a heart that's so carefree
If I can steal you from someone else someone can steal you from me
If I can steal your lips from someone else someone can steal them from me
You slipped around to him before you ever started goin' with me
There is no pride that we must hide and love in secrecy
If I can steal you from someone else someone can steal you from me
If I can steal your heart from someone else someone can steal it from me
The heart you want to give away belongs to another you see
I have your smile for just a while till you grew tired of me
If I can steal you from someone else someone can steal you from me
