Lyrics The Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers

One Step Closer

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 no heart of stone and you know

Why is it so hard to do

Tell me that you're right here 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
