Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, there's a chance you oughta take
A chance of a mistake you gotta make
Maybe I'm mistaken too
Take my chance with you
[Verse 2]
I need you like a shadow needs a light
I'll follow you like morning follows night
When nothin's ahead of you
I'll be right behind you
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
One step, baby (One step, baby)
Two steps maybe (One step closer)
One step closer (I'll be there, baby)
And I'll be next to you
[Verse 5]
Baby, it's a secret I can't keep
When trouble comes, suddenly you're weak
I don't believe you got the strength
To fight this kind of love
[Verse 6]
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
Tell us it can't be?
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Baby, can't you see we're runnin' late?
Can't you see that we ain't got time to wait?
Might be that you're scared of me
Something you might feel
[Verse 9]
Hold onto me, baby, hold on tight
I can take us through the night alright
Maybe I will stay here too
And take my chance with you
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
One step, baby (One step, baby)
Two steps maybe (One step closer)
One step closer
