Every Step

I'm a fool to be kind to you

It's not what the men in your life tend to do

Must be so strange finding someone who only accepts you

Rejection's a lesson you've had

You're caught in the anger you feel for your dad

But, oh, how he loves you, there's no doubt, with all his hign hopes for you.

I could push you away

I could say I don't want you no more

I could drive you right into the floor and tell you you're useless

Get used to it, lady

But I'm big in believing that, baby, you're bigger than that

It's respect for yourself that you lack

And success, it's a mood that you choose

With every step

I want to grow old with you

To hold your old hand and look back on our youth

I will be strong, times I might not

I'm only human

I could push you away

I could say I don't want you no more

I could drive you right into the floor and tell you you're useless

Get used to it, lady

But I'm big in believing that, baby, you're bigger than that

It's respect for yourself that you lack

And success, it's a mood that you choose

With every step

So be free like a bumblebee

Spread wings like a bird

Squawk like a peacock and let your voice be heard

It's okay

I have no lock, key, or a cage

You've got to want to stay

I won't push you away

I won't say I don't want you no more

I won't drive you right into the floor, but I'll tell you yu're beautiful

Get on with it, lady

'Cause I'm big in believing that, baby, you're bigger than that

It's respect for yourself that you lack

And seccess, it's a mood that you choose

With every step

So take a step

It's just step by step
