Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I look into your eyes
See the world cut down to size
Baby, don't apologize
For takin' me one step over the line
[Verse 2]
When I touch your secret skin
Babe, I know it ain't no sin
I feel you startin' to give in
Now let's go one step over the line
[Verse 3]
I know it's just your daddy's car
Your daddy never went this far
Baby, we know who we are
Let's go one step over the line
[Verse 4]
I could be your drivin' wheel
We could make those tires squeal
Ooh, I like the way it feels
Takin' it one step over the line
[Verse 5]
One step forward and two steps back
It's for the birds now, baby
I'm talkin' cake walkin' into the black
Across that red line and I don't mean maybe
[Verse 6]
I hear they buried Lover's Lane
In a sea of tears and blame
Let's you and me go up in flames
Baby, one step over the line
[Verse 7]
They're throwin' boxes on the ground
(On the ground)
Just to make us look on down
(Don't look down)
All we gotta do is look around
(Look around)
And take it one step over the line
One step over the line
Come on baby, one step over the line
[Verse 8]
Baby, gotta keep on, ooh (Come on over)
Gotta keep it true (Just one step, baby)
Come on, let's go, baby (Just don't look down, baby)
Just take it one step over the line
Just are you ready (One step over)
This love is real (One step over)
It's only time we're killin' (One step over)
Just take it one step over the line
Gotta find a direction, babe (One step over)
Don't need no protection, baby (One step over)
Let's make that connection, baby (One step over)
Take it one step over the line
(One step over)
It's one small step for mankind
(One step over)
One giant step for us
(One step over)
Come on, girl, one step over the line
