One Step Ahead - Aretha Franklin

作曲：Charles Singleton/Eddie Snyder

I'm only one step ahead of heartbreak

One step ahead of misery

One step is all I have to take

Backwards to be the same old fool for you

I used to be

I'm only one step ahead of your arms

One kiss away from your sweet lips

I know I can't afford to stop for one moment

Cos I'm just out of reach of your fingertips

Your warm breath on my shoulder

Keeps reminding me

That it's too soon to forget you

It's too late to be free can't you see

I'm only one step ahead of your love

I try and yet I can't take two

Seems like I'll have to take that one step backwards

Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you

Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you

Just one step ahead is a step too far away from you

Just one step ahead is a step too far away from you
