Aretha Franklin — One Step Ahead

[Verse 1] I'm only one step ahead of heartbreak One step ahead of misery One step is all I'd have to take backwards To be the same old fool for you I used to be [Verse 2] I'm only one step ahead of your arms One kiss away from your sweet lips I know I can't afford to stop for one moment 'Cause I'm just out of reach of your fingertips [Bridge] Your warm breath on my shoulder Keeps reminding me That it's too soon to forget you It's too late to be free, can't you see? [Verse 3] I'm only one step ahead of your love I try and yet I can't take two Seems like I'll have to take that one step backwards 'Cause one step ahead is a step too far away from you 'Cause one step ahead is a step too far away from you Just one step ahead is a step too far away from you
