One Step Ahead

Split Enz

One step ahead of you

stay in motion, keep an open mind

Love is a race won by two

Your emotion, my solitude

If I stop I could lose my head

So I'm losing you instead

Either way I'm confused

You slow me down, what can I do?

There's one particular way I have to choose



One step ahead of you

Always someone makes it hard to move

She says, Boy I want you to stay

But I save it all for another day

If I stop I could lose my head

But I'm ready for romance

Either way I'm confused

I don't know what I'm s'posed to do

I can only stay

One step ahead of you



Da,da,da,da,da

Da,da,da,da

Da,da,da,da

Da,da,da,dum



Stop, I confess sometimes

I don't know where I'm going

Part of me stays with you,

I'm slowing down, what can I do

It's hard to stay one step ahead of you

(Uh huh)



One step ahead of you

Time is running out

Catching up with you

One step ahead of you

When I hold you close

Can I really lose?

One step ahead

Only one step ahead

She's one step ahead of you
