One Step Ahead Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

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 

Cos 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 

Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you. 

Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you. 

Just one step ahead is a step too far away from you.
