Aretha Franklin - The Genesis of Aretha: 1960-1966

One Step Ahead

I'm only one step ahead of heartbreak
One step ahead of misery
One step is all I have to take backwards
To be the same old fool for you, I used to be

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

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?

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

One step ahead is a step too far away
