Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One step ahead of you
Stay in motion
Keep an open mind
Love is a race won by two
Your emotion, my solitude
[Verse 2]
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 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 supposed to do
I can only stay
One step ahead of you
[Verse 5]
Da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
[Verse 6]
Da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
[Verse 7]
Stop, I confess, sometimes
I don't know where I'm goin'
Part of me stays with you
I'm slowing down, what can I do?
It's hard to stay one step ahead of you, oh
[Verse 8]
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
