One Step Closer

The Doobie Brothers



Baby, there's a chance you ought to take

Chance of a mistake you gotta make

Maybe I'm mistaken too

To take my chance with you

I need you like a shadow needs a light

I'll follow you like morning follows night

When nothin's left ahead of you

I'll be right behind you

Shadows disappear at night

We both know it's a shame if you should lose one

Why is it so hard to find

Tell me that you're right there too



One step baby

Two steps maybe

One step closer

I'll be next to you



Baby, it's a secret I can't keep

Trouble comes and suddenly you're weak

I don't believe you got the strength

To fight this kind of love

I know it's risky now and then,

What with all the what ifs and the whens

Who is there to say we're wrong

To tell us it can't be

Come on, baby, please don't go

I'm heart of stone and you know why is it so hard to do

Tell me that you're right there too, baby

Baby, can't you see we're runnin' late

Can't you see we ain't got time to wait

Might be that you're scared of me

Of something you might feel

Hold on to me, baby, hold on tight

I can take us through the night all right

Maybe I will stay here too

Take my chance with you



Shadows disappear at night

We both know it's a shame if you should lose one

Why is it so hard to find

Tell me that you're right there too



One step baby

Two steps maybe

One step closer
