[Verse 1]

They say it's five steps to be successful

To prosper and to thrive

And that would be the reason you're alive

It takes five steps to be prepared

Five more to realize

That every circumstance demands advice

[Chorus]

How relieved I am to know

I have only five steps left to go

It's not one, two, three or four

I'm not counting anymore

'cause how could I be sure?

[Verse 2]

They say it's five steps to find a lover

Just four to find a friend

At least you're finding someone in the end

It takes five steps to strike it lucky

And worries disappear

And you'll be praised as someone to revere

[Chorus]

How relieved I am to know

I have only five steps left to go

It's not one, two, three or four

I'm not counting anymore

'cause how could I be sure?

[Verse 3]

Now here's one step to free your mind

An idiot's advice:

Get rid of thinking steps, that will suffice
