One Step Closer Lyrics By The Doobie Brothers

    baby there’s a chance you ought to take
    chance of a mistake you gotta make
    maybe i’m mistaken too
    to take my chance with you

    i need you like a shadow needs a light
    i’ll follow you like morning follows night
    when nothin’s left ahead of you
    i’ll be right behind you

    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

    one step baby
    two steps maybe
    one step closer
    i’ll be next to you

    baby it’s a secret i can’t keep
    trouble comes and suddenly you’re weak
    i don’t believe you got the strength
    to fight this kind of love

    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 to tell us it can’t be

    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

    baby can’t you see we’re runnin’ late
    can’t you see we ain’t got time to wait
    might be that you’re scared of me
    of something you might feel
    hold on to me baby hold on tight
    i can take us through the night all right
    maybe i will stay here too
    take my chance with you

    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

    one step baby
    two steps maybe
    one step closer
