[Chorus]
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me

[Vere 1]
We blow hot and cold right into a heartache
I come toward you and you back away
Well, it's hard to be open, but do it for our sake
Don't let the world get in our way

[Chorus]
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me

[Verse 2]
But our lives are filled with such indecision
Going and comin' our different ways
Don't run away, baby, don't avoid the collision
Let the sparks fill up our days

[Chorus]
It's a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Now listen, baby (What do you want?)
I'm sure glad you came along (That's nice)
But don't push your luck, honey (Who? Me?)
Hm-mm, 'cause our love is not that strong
It may not be love and it may not be perfect
It may not make our dreams come true
But what good are dreams
Can't put your arms around them
Let me put my arms around you

[Chorus]
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
'Cause I'm a step in the right direction
I am a step forward for you
I am a step in the right direction
Come on and take a step or two
'Cause you are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
