Steppin' Out
Band Aka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You do what you please
Never let on, that even once
That you've ever been lonely
It's nice to see you alone
Are you lookin' for somethin'
Maybe you ain't gettin' at home?
You're dressin' to kill
Your old man has promised
When he died he would leave you his money
And the pool where you swim
Are you lookin' for somethin'
Maybe you ain't gettin' from him?
Steppin' out, steppin' out
To get a little action on the side
Steppin' out, steppin' out
The day time queen takes a midnight ride
And it's plain as plain can be
You're a woman who wants to get free
If you're steppin' out tonight, honey,
Come on and step out with me
The party's a bore
It's bound to get worse
Let's sneak out somewhere
And engage in our own celebration
Will you pour me some wine?
Are you thinkin', baby, maybe
Your needs are the same as mine?
Wanna go for a walk,
Go for a ride,
Maybe just stand here and think
What we can do to each other
No, we don't have to dance
If you're thinkin' of steppin' out
Baby, this is your chance
Steppin' out, steppin' out
To get a little action on the side
Steppin' out, steppin' out
The day time queen takes a midnight ride
And it's plain as plain can be
You're a woman who wants to get free
If you're steppin' out tonight, honey,
Come on and step out with me
The song "Steppin' Out" by Band Aka is about a woman who is looking for something that she is not getting at home. The lyrics describe her as someone who is independent and does what she pleases, yet it is clear that she is not completely happy. She is dressed to kill and has money and a pool, but there is something that she desires that she is not getting from her man. The song suggests that this woman is looking to step out and find some action on the side.
The refrain of the song, "Steppin' out, steppin' out, to get a little action on the side," reinforces the idea that the woman is not fulfilled in her current situation and is seeking something more. The lyrics also suggest that the person singing the song is willing to offer the woman the chance to step out with him and find what she is looking for.
The song's title is a reference to the act of "stepping out," which often refers to cheating on a partner or spouse. The song plays on this idea by portraying a woman who is unhappy in her current relationship and looking for something more. However, the song is also about freedom and taking chances, suggesting that the woman deserves to be happy and fulfilled, even if that means stepping out of her comfort zone.
