One Step Ahead [lp Version] Lyrics - 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 

INTRO: 

Energy up! 

Bring the energy up! 

On the double

VERSE 1: 

Steppin' on toes 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 for it - 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 ahead 

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!
