One More Step to Take
Delegation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
only one more move to make,
I need just one more lucky break
and you'll be mine,
I've waited all those time.
Only one more step to take,
only one more move to make,
I need just one more lucky break
I've been so close to you, girl, yet so far.
I've tried so hard to find out, where you are.
People think, that I'm wastin' my time,
there's no way, that you'll ever be mine,
but they're wrong, my love is so strong
for you, baby.
There's only one more step to take,
only one more move to make,
I need just one more lucky break
and you'll be mine,
I've waited all those time.
Only one more step to take,
only one more move to make,
I need just one more lucky break
and you'll be mine.
There's much tender lovin' in my heart,
there'll be no turn and beggar, once we start.
Have no fear, leave your worries to me,
I'll be here, when you want me to be,
say, you care and we're almost there,
yeah baby.
There's only one more step to take,
only one more move to make,
I need just one more lucky break
and you'll be mine,
I've waited all those time.
Only one more step to take,
only one more move to make,
I need just one more lucky break
and you'll be mine.
There's only one more step to take,
only one more move to make,
only one more step to take,
I need just one more lucky break.
One more step to take,
one more move to make,
one more step to take,
one more lucky break.
