Every Step

I'm a fool to be kind to you It's not what the men in your life tend to do Must be so strange, finding someone Who only accepts you Rejection's a lesson you've had You're lost in the anger you feel for your dad But oh, how he loves you There's no doubt with all his high hopes for you I could push you away I could say, "I don't want you no more" I could drive you right into the floor And tell you are useless Get used to it, lady But I'm big in believing that, baby You're bigger than that It's respect for yourself that you lack And success, it's a mood That you chose with every step I want to grow old with you To hold your old hand And look back on our youth I will be strong, times I might not I'm only human I could push you away I could say, "I don't want you no more" I could drive you right into the floor And tell you are useless Get used to it, lady But I'm big in believing that, baby You're bigger than that It's respect for yourself that you lack And success it's a mood That you chose with every step So, be free like a bumble bee Spread wings like a bird Squawk like a peacock And let your voice be heard It's okay I have no lock, key or a cage You've got to want to stay I won't push you away I won't say I don't want you no more I won't drive you right into the floor But I'll tell you you're beautiful Get on with it, lady 'Cause I'm big in believing that, baby You're bigger than that It's respect for yourself that you lack And success, it's a mood That you chose with every step So take step, it's just step by step
