I see your brain
I see your brain a-churnin’
Plotting your next move
That same old flame
That same old flame’s a burnin’
It’s got lots to prove

But I promise, ooh
I promise ooh
That if you stand here with me
I’m gettin’ you
I’m gettin’ you exactly
Where you’re supposed to be

Let’s take it one step at a time
Just sing your songs and I’ll sing mine
Before we know it, they’ll be on their feet
And clappin’, clappin’
Clappin’, clappin’

And we can try to force our hand
But it’ll never go as planned
Leave it alone, my love, cuz life’ll
Happеn, happen
Happen, happen
I know that whеn
I wait it out, I figure out
Just what to sing
It’s all awful then
You’re crying and you’re staring
At your wedding ring

And I promise ooh
I promise ooh
I promise now that you’re my wife
I am loving you
I’m loving you forever
Loving you for life

Let’s take it one step at a time
Just sing your songs and I’ll sing mine
Before we know it, they’ll be on their feet
And clappin’, clappin’
Clappin’, clappin’

And we can try to force our hand
But it’ll never go as planned
Leave it alone, my love, cuz life’ll
Happen, happen
Happen, happen
And comes the sweet, strange, scary day
We learned a baby would be here
Since he appeared, he leads the way
And we just take it year by year by year

We’ll take it one step at a time
You sing him your songs, I’ll sing mine
Before we know it, he’ll be on his feet
And clappin’, clappin’
Clappin’, clappin’

We can try to force our hand
But it’ll never go as planned
Leave it alone, my love, cuz life’ll
Happen, happen
Happen, happen

Were we smart just like we thought
Or were we foolish?
Heaven knows
Well you could ask our son or daughter
But they’re out
Playing their own shows

And so I promise you
I promise ooh
I know we did the best we could
By letting life
By letting life alone
And baby, it was good
We took it one step at a time
We sang your songs
We sang mine
Before we knew it, they were on their feet
And clappin’, clappin’
Clappin’, clappin’...
