Ooh, ooh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

You know I'm the kinda guy that does it 9 to 5
Workin' real hard is the way I live my life
Back home, just me and you girl, all alone
With no one interrupting
Swich off the phone
But I could be that other guy
Who comes home late at night after night, and tells you lies
So why you tripping now
On me girl, all the time
When everyday it's only you that's on my mind, oh

Every time we take one step forward
You take two steps back
Everytime it's right, you bring left back (oh, oh)
Girl you really oughta think about it
Cause there's really no doubt about it 
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth (2x)

You know, you're the kinda girl that doesn't need to frown
Keep it real, let me know just what you want
Sometimes I just don't know when to stop
You always want so much for 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 thing we did no more

Every time we take one step forward
You take 2 steps back
Everytime it's right, you bring left back (oh, oh)
Girl you really oughta think about it
Cause there's really no doubt about it 
You know I've been there for you, and that's the truth (2x)

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, how much you cared (remember)
It could be a little straight
But this is the way plays to 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 only gonna mess things up
You've done enough
Why can't you stop
You're gonna lose what's good to you
And it's the last thing you wanna do
Won't find another, let me hold

Every time we take one step forward
You take two steps back
Everytime it's right, you bring left back (oh, oh)
Girl you really oughta think about it
Cause there's really no doubt about it 
You know I've been there for you, and that's the truth (3x)
