Aretha Franklin, Donnis - One Step Ahead (Empire State Riddim) lyrics

I'm only one step ahead of heartbreak
One step ahead of misery
One step is all I'd have to take backwards
To be the same old fool for you I used to be

I'm only one step ahead of your arms
One kiss away from your sweet lips
I know I can't afford to stop for one moment
Cause I'm just out of
Reach of your fingertips

Your warm breath on my shoulder
Keeps reminding me
That it's too soon to forget you
It's too late to be free, can't you see?
I'm only one step ahead of your love
I try and yet I can't take two
Seems like I'll have to take
That one step backwards

Cause one step ahead is a step
Too far away from you
Cause one step ahead is a step
Too far away from you
Just one step ahead is a step
Too far away from you

What's happening shawty
You know what this is
Blunts! My boy, what's happening shawty man
You know man i told y'all I was gonna
Do this drop for you shawty, but you
Know I kept procrastinating man
And that wasn't the
Move i've been busy working on Southern
Lights, man, out here in the A Town
But right now I'm out in LA
And I told my fans I was gonna do your
Motherfucking drop because you're my
Nigga and shit
