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!

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 out way

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!

Our lives are filled with such indecision
Going and comin' in our different ways
Don't run away don't avoid the collision
Let the sparks fill up our days
It's a step in the right direction

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!

Now listen baby, I'm sure glad you came along
But don't push your luck honey
'Cause our love is not that strong

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

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 am 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
