Steal Away
Passionate Nights and Stolen Desires: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Whitesnake's 'Steal Away'
Lyrics
And when the day is done
Expressing a commitment to finding the person at the end of the day.
I'll find you woman, and run,
Commitment to pursue the woman without hesitation.
Don't ask no question.
Encouraging the woman not to question the speaker's actions.
And you won't get no lies,
Assurance that honesty will be the policy in the relationship.
And if you steal away,
Reference to the act of the woman 'stealing away,' possibly implying a secretive or passionate encounter.
I'll be your only lover.
Promise to be the exclusive lover if the woman engages in the mentioned act.
And I will love you till the day that I die.
Commitment to love the woman until the speaker's death.
And if you steal away,
Reiteration of the speaker's willingness if the woman 'steals away.'
I'll turn your night into day
Promise to transform the woman's night into a positive experience.
And get you crying like a dog for a bone.
Expressing the speaker's ability to evoke strong emotions in the woman.
And if you say you will,
Conditional commitment based on the woman's willingness.
I'll be your only lover.
Reiteration of the promise to be the exclusive lover.
And if you're good,
Positive outcome if the woman behaves well in the relationship.
I'll never leave you alone.
Assurance that the speaker will not abandon the woman if she is good.
Now, woman, don't be shy,
Encouraging the woman to be open and confident.
I see that look in your eye,
Noticing a particular expression in the woman's eye and suggesting harmless mischief.
A little snake-bite won't do nobody wrong.
Reassuring the woman that a little mischief won't cause harm.
And if you shake what you got
Encouragement for the woman to showcase her attributes.
I'll be your only lover,
Promise to be the exclusive lover if the woman displays confidence.
And I'll be howling for you all night long.
Expressing intense desire for the woman throughout the night.
Steal away, steal away,
Repetition of the phrase "Steal away," emphasizing the theme of secrecy or passion.
Steal away, steal away.
Repetition for emphasis, possibly indicating the urgency or intensity of the situation.
And if you steal away,
Reiteration of the promise to transform the woman's night positively.
I'll turn your night into day
Emphasizing the importance of not questioning and ensuring honesty in the relationship.
Don't ask no question,
Repetition for emphasis, urging the woman not to inquire too much.
And you won't get no lies.
Reassurance that honesty will be maintained in the relationship.
And if you say you will,
Conditional commitment based on the woman's willingness.
I'll be your only lover.
Reiteration of the promise to be the exclusive lover.
And I will love you
Commitment to love the woman until the speaker's death.
'Til the day that I die.
Final affirmation of everlasting love and commitment.
