Intro

(bass line only: no chords)

Verse 1

  One step ahead of you

  Stay in motion, keep an open mind

  Love is a race run 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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

La da-de-da-dah (etc)

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

Verse 4

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...
