One Step

(Just take it one step at a time
Starting to tremble
Can't read through your lines
So take it one step at a time
Know I remember
That look in your eyes
Wish I could tell them why)

They tried to keep their heads so high above
Said I was way too young to know 'bout love

When I can't clear my plate again
My mama thinks I'm growing thin
She scolds I'm turning porcelain white, oh
I leave the kitchen by the back
My papa wonders where I'm at
Don't know it's you I'm calling tonight

Just take it one step at a time
Starting to tremble
Can't read through your lines
So take it one step at a time
Know I remember
That look in your eyes
Wish I could tell them why

Ooh, ooh, hoo
Ooh, ooh, hoo

You, you're the first
Who's understood me at my worst
The only one who's more than a friend, oh
Still everything's so new to us
Our secrets swept beneath the rug
Someday we'll all stop playing pretend

Just take it one step at a time
Starting to tremble
Can't read through your lines
So take it one step at a time
Know I remember
That look in your eyes
Wish I could tell them why

Ooh, ooh, hoo
Ooh, ooh, hoo
Ooh, ooh, hoo
Ooh, ooh, hoo

(Ooh, ooh)
How do you know it's real
(Ooh, ooh)
Without knowing the way I feel
(Ooh, ooh)
How do you know it's real
(Ooh, ooh)
Without knowing the way I feel

Just take it one step at a time
Starting to tremble
Can't read through your lines
So take it one step at a time
Know I remember
That look in your eyes
Wish I could tell them why

Ooh, ooh, hoo
Ooh, ooh, hoo
Ooh, ooh, hoo
Ooh, ooh
One step at a time
