John Martyn

Step It Up

When I was little, they took me to school

Tried to teach me just how to learn

Numbed you, tell you, everything I done on me

I swear, I had to earn it

Step it up, step it up

Step it up, step it up.

One way for you, one way for me

Only one way forward that I can see

That’s step it up, step it up for me

Step it up for her, step it up step for me.

Never lie down, don’t take it

You’ve got some kind of fate, they’ll never shake you

All you’ve got to do is

Step it up, step it up

Step it up step, step it up.

One way for you, one way for me

Only one way forward this boy can see

Come on

Step it up step, step it up step

Step it up step, step it up.

Absolute concentration

There’s nothing wrong with consideration

just love, all you do is

Step it up step, step it up.

One day I saw my friend around a corner, round the bend

I said, hey darling, what’s the matter with you

She said

Step it up.

Oh darling sometimes, I feel I could never ever step it up

And I said dear friend walk in love, think about nothing but love

Just come on

Step it up step, step it up step

Step it up step, step it up step.

One way for you, one way for me

There’s only one way forward I can see

Step it up step step it up step

Step it up step, step it up

Step it up step, step it up

Step it any time you like

Step round the corner, call for me.
