I'm just one step before losin' you.
and i'm just one step ahead of the blues.
but i know that there's been pain an' misery.
long before this old world had ever heard of me.
and i know it will hurt to see you go,
but we'll just add one more heartache to the score.
and though i still love you as before,
i'm just one step beyond carin' any more.
Instrumental break.
Bet that you're surprised that i could feel this way,
after stayin' home an' waitin' night and day.
for someone who cared so much for me,
you'd come home just long enough to laugh at me.
i don't know just when my feelin's changed,
i just know i could never feel the same,
and though i still love you as before,
i'm just one step beyond carin' any more.
