OneStepAhead

One Step Ahead - Aretha Franklin

Composed by：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

'Cause 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

'Cause one step ahead is a step too far away from you

'Cause one step ahead is a step too far away from you

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

One step ahead is a step too far away
