You know I'm the kind of guy that does a 9 to 5
Workin' real hard 'cause it's the way I live my life
Back home, just me and you, girl, all alone
With no one interrupting, switch off the phone
But I could be that other guy
Who comes home late-night at the night and tells you lies
So why you trippin' out on me, girl, all the time?
When everyday it's only you that's on my mind
Every time we take one step forward, you take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back
Oh, hey you really gotta think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward, you take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back
Oh, hey you really gotta think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
You know you're the kinda girl that doesn't need to front
Keep it real, let me know just what you want
Sometimes you just don't know when to stop
You're working so much over nothing
You're just losing what you've got
Now can't you see there's no other girl?
I think you're the most beautiful woman in this world, yeah
But you say I don't appreciate ya and I don't know how to treat ya
We don't do the same things, we did no more
Every time we take one step forward, you take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back
Oh, hey you really gotta think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward, you take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back
Oh, hey you really gotta think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Remember, it wasn't that long ago
You told me that you loved me so
Don't forget all the nights we shared
When you told me, girl, just how much you cared
Remember, you can be led astray
But that's the way playas play
I'm not that kinda man
Why can't you understand 'cause I
Want you to trust in me, baby girl, can't you see?
You're only gonna mess things up
You've done enough
Why can't you stop 'cause
You're gonna lose what's good for you
And that's the last thing you wanna do
Won't find another like me
Every time we take one step forward, you take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back
Oh, hey you really gotta think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward, you take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back
Oh, hey you really gotta think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward, you take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back
Oh, hey you really gotta think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
