Every Step

(álbum: Hobo - 2009)

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 you're 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 choose
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
...
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 OK
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
Coz 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 choose
With every step
So take a step
It's just step by step
