[Intro]

Yeah

Ooh, ooh

Craig David

Hey-yeah, yeah, yeah

Check it

[Verse 1]

You know, I'm the kinda guy that does it 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 interruptin'

Switch off the phone

But I could be that other guy

Who comes home late night after night, then tells you lies

So, why you trippin' out on me, girl, all the time?

When every day, it's only you that's on my mind, oh

[Chorus]

Every time we take one step forward

You take two steps back

Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh

Girl, you really ought to think about it

'Cause there's really no doubt about it (What?)

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

Girl, you really ought to think about it (Oh)

'Cause there's really no doubt about it (Oh-oh)

You know I've been there for you and that's the truth

[Verse 2]

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 worry 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 you

And I don't know how to treat you

We don't do the same things we did no more

[Chorus]

Every time we take one step forward

You take two steps back

Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh

Girl, you really ought to think about it

'Cause there's really no doubt about it

You know I've been there for you and that's the truth (I've been there for you)

Every time we take one step forward (Baby)

You take two steps back (See, I've been always there for you)

Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh (You bring left back)

Girl, you really ought to think about it (Ooh)

'Cause there's really no doubt about it (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

You know I've been there for you and that's the truth

[Bridge]

Remember, it wasn't that long ago

You told me that you love me so

Don't forget all the nights we shared

When you told me, girl, just how much you cared

Remember that you could be led astray

But that's the way players 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 this?

You're gonna lose what's good for you

And it's the last thing you wanna do

Won't find another like me, oh

[Chorus]

Every time we take one step forward (Every time)

You take two steps back (Oh)

Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh (You)

Girl, you really ought to think about it (Yeah)

'Cause there's really no doubt about it (No)

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 (Same old thing again)

Girl, you really ought to think about it (You)

'Cause there's really no doubt about it (Yeah)

You know I've been there for you and that's the truth (Know)

Every time we take one step forward (Every time)

You take two steps back (It never fails, baby)

Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh (Oh, oh-oh)

Girl, you really ought to think about it

'Cause there's really no doubt about it

You know I've been there for you and that's the truth (No)

[Outro]

Every time

Every evening, mm
