I used to see you on the avenue

You were the girl that let me follow you

You used to hang out in the alleyway

You sewed a button on my shirt one day

I asked around until I found your name

Then underneath the arches in the pouring rain

I said - You (yeah, you) I want you

Every step of the way



I know that things are gettin' better

I know it's gonna be OK

So baby don't go - I ain't gonna let ya

I wanna be with you every step of the way

Every step of the way



Do ya wanna, do ya wanna, do ya wanna dance?

Take a chance, baby, take a chance

I'll be with you every of the way

I'll even show you how to strut one day

Ain't got a girl and it's a crying shame

'Cos I can't figure out who's to blame

I want you (yeah, you) I want you

Every step of the way



I know that things are gettin' better

I know things will be OK

So baby don't go - I ain't gonna let ya

I wanna be with you every step of the way

Yeah, every step of the way



I know that things are gettin' better

I know things will be OK

So baby don't go - I ain't gonna let ya

I wanna be with you every step of the way

Every step of the way
