The Isley Brothers
Footsteps in the Dark
[Verse 1]
Are we really sure
Can a love that lasted for so long
Still endure?
Do I really care?
Hey, hey, let's talk about the distractions
Goin' on elsewhere

[Chorus]
I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
In the dark, oh, in the dark
Why? I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
In the dark, oh, in the dark, ooh

[Verse 2]
My mind drifts now and then
Lookin' down dark corridors and wonders what might have been
Something's up ahead
Hey, should I keep this same direction or go back instead?

[Chorus]
I, I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
In the dark, oh, in the dark
Why? I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
In the dark, oh, in the dark, ooh
[Verse 3]
Honey, now let's stop walkin' around
When there's love lost to be found
Oh, and you know I still care, I still care
What's the sense in goin' elsewhere?

[Verse 4]
Who feels really sure?
Can that feelin' guarantee your happiness shall endure?
And do we, really care? Hey, hey
Let's look at what's been happenin', try to be more aware

[Chorus]
I, I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
In the dark, in the dark
Why? I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
In the dark, oh, in the dark, ooh

[Verse 5]
Yeah, let's stop walkin' around
Well, when there's love lost, lost to be found
Oh, honey, you know I still care, I still care
What's the sense in goin', goin' elsewhere?

[Outro]
Oh, honey, let's stop walkin' around and around and around
When there's no love to be found
Hey, baby, you know, I still care, I still care
What's the sense of goin', goin' elsewhere?
