One Step Ahead - Debbie Gibson

Watch it Watch it.

Watch it!

Go!

Rap:

Always gotta be one step ahead

You know where you’re lying

When you make your own bed

You’ll never end up in the red

So watch your step, one step ahead

Whoa!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh-ho…

Intro:

Energy up!

Bring the energy up!

On the double

Verse 1:

Steppin' on toas is a common routine

Sneakin' up from behind

You won’t get anywhere

Dancin' out of time

If you’re living up to expectations

You may as well be dead

Gotta go — gotta go for it Always gotta be one step ahead

So —

Chorus:

Don’t calm down

Bring the energy up Don’t depend on lady luck

Can’t walk — you just run instead

If you want to be one step ahead

Verse 2:

Look over your shoulder

And predict what’s to come

You’re not feeling life if you’re simply numb

So don’t be dumb — grab the brass ring

You really can’t depend on anything

Gotta make it happen all by yourself

Why rely on anyone else?

So-

CHORUS

Don’t calm down

Bring the energy up Don’t depend on lady luck

Can’t walk — why not run instead?

If you wanna be one step, one step ahead

Bridge:

This dream is holding me tight

Keeping me up all night — oh It’s not out of reach — just out of sight

Do you think I’ll get it?

Think I may, say I might — oh —

This dream is holding me tight

Keeping me tossing and turning

It’s not out of reach — just out of sight

Do you think I’ll get it?

With the way I’m burning

I just might!

It’s time to rap —

Huh!

Rap:

Always gotta be one step agead

You know where you’re lying

When you make your own bed

You’ll never end up in the red

So watch it!

Don't calm down, bring the energy up You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it Don't calm down, bring the energy up You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it Don't calm

down, bring the energy up

(You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)

Are you listenin'?

Don’t calm down, bring the energy up

(You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)

Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah!

Don’t calm down

Bring the energy up Don’t depend on lady luck

Can’t walk — gonna run instead

If you want to be one step ahead (I know you do, huh!)

(Don't calm down, bring the energy up)

You gotta be one step ahead, if you know what’s good for you

If you know what’s good for you

(Don't calm down, bring the energy up)

Don’t — no — why rely on lady luck?

Don’t calm down, bring the energy up!
