This soft-rock ballad was Dupree’s biggest hit, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]

Come on and hold me

Just like you told me

Then show me

What I want to know

[Chorus 1]

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

Into the night

I know it ain't right

[Verse 2]

Don't tease me

Why don't you please me

And show me

What you came here for

[Chorus 1]

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

Into the night

I know it ain't right

[Hook]

Into the night, babe

Baby, tonight

Ooh

[Bridge]

I caught you glancing my way

And I know what you're after

No second chances tonight

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

[Hook]

Into the night

I know it ain't right

Into the night

I know it ain't right

[Chorus 2]

Why don't we steal away

I know it ain't right

Into the night, babe

Why don't we steal away

Make it tonight

Why don't we steal away
