A Step Too Far

Elton John, Heather Headly & Sherie Scott

It's so strange he doesn't show me

More affection then he needs

Almost formal, too respectful

Never takes romantic leads

There are many times when I imagine

I'm not always on his mind

He's not thinking what I'm thinking

Always half a step behind

Always half a step behind



I'm in every kind of trouble

Can't you tell? Just look at me

Half estactic, half dejected

All in all I'm all at sea

Easy terms I thought I wanted

Fill me now with chilling dread

You could never know the chaos

Of a life turned on its head

Of a life turned on its head



I am certain that I love him

But a love can be misplaced

Have I compromised my people

In my passion and my haste?

I could be his life companion

Anywhere but where we are

Am I leader, am i traitor?

Did I take a step too far?

Did I take a step too far?



Did I take a step too far?

I am certain that I love him

But a love can be misplaced

Did I take a step too far?

It's so strange he doesn't show me

More affection than he needs

Did I take a step too far?

I am certain that I love him

But a love can be misplaced

Did I take a step too far?
