A Step Too Far

(álbum: Aida (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 2000)

[Amneris:]
It's so strange he doesn't show me
More affection that he needs
Almost formal, too respectful
Never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Radames:]
I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell? Just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on its head
Of a life turned on its head
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Radames, Amneris:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Aida:]
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people?
In my passion and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I leader? Am I traitor?
Did I take a step too far?
Did I take a step too far?

[Amneris:]

Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind

[Radames:]

Can't you tell? Just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on it's head
Of a life turned on it's head

[Aida:]
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people?
In my passion and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I leader? Am I traitor?
Did I take a step too far?
Did I take a step too far?

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Aida, Radames:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[All:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Did I take a step too far?
