Oh, yeah, Step by step
I've got to get close to you
Step by step
I've got to get to know you - oh yeah

You came into my life
Like a drop of rain falling from above
And I knew when I first saw you
You were the one for me to love
But as sudden as you came, oh,
You vanished into the night - yeah
I knew my life wouldn't be complete
Oh, without you to hold me tight

Step by step
I've got to get close to you
Step by step
Girl, I've got to get to know you

My friends all tell me
Tell me you're a woman of the street
Oh, but to me, baby,
You're all my eyes can ever see
If we had one night together
Oh, I'll make you understand
That I need your love, baby
And I surely wanna be your man
Let me tell you, honey

Step by step
Oh, I've got to get close to you
Step by step,
Oh, I've got to get to know you
Oh yeah - oh yeah - oh yeah

Step by step
Oh, I've got to get close to you
Step by step,
Oh, yeah, yeah, let me tell you honey

If we only, that's all it takes
Step by step, I tell you baby
Step by step,
Oh, I've got to get close to you
Oh yes I have
uhmmmm, we got to step by step
I tell you baby it won't be long
Oh, I'm determined, ohhh
