One Step Away
Dyme Def Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I took her clothes off
Gave it to her before she dozed off
I'mma tip when the ho's call
But now I'm just a lost cause
Just sell me out I'm kinda lost dogs
I think I started too late
Let me take you back to the first date
Notice you ain't got no ringer any babies
She said a man is in the navy
When he ain't coming back too soon
I'm coming back at noon
I'm just trying to say we should invest in the future
Unless you got a future
Which other dude is best for something new
It started at the first date
See, I'm your fourth mate
She said that's so great
And it was worth the wait
See, I'm worth the hate
That's what the girls say
That's what the girl want
That's why the girls wait
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
See, it started from the first kiss
And we started like she my first chick
Who what the worst is?
All the shots we would throw at eachother
Until we drop and we come together like worship
I try to skip the arguments
And stick to courtship
But the devil's telling me it's more shit
So what I'm supposed to do
Testing your limits as if that's supposed to pull me code to you?
Who pulled you out that loop
Who pulled you out that group
You and I both know you wasn't raised in a chicken coup
That wasn't hidden proof
Now that I see a little light
Something I hid in you
Cause now you in the you
You forgot who brought who into something so beautiful
You beautiful but all you see is a mirror cubicle
And I ain't saying much out of the usual
But you been acting kinda' unusual
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
See really baby, I'm not the type of dude to be tied down
Livin' the fast life and I'm enjoying it right now
The thought of being linked to another woman is not me
But things change drastic when I met you
Roots planted in my quest
Love on this blue planet
The rest love to hate the fact you happy
Been hurt in the past
So you got your heart
You just gotta trust and try
Baby, open up your eyes
And you might be suprised that there is a decent guy
That doesn't cheat still alive
I'm downfor whatever love
I'm tryin' to learn the auto in you
The one to get lost in your world
I'm tryin' to be a part of it
Been comein' around the lot tryin' to convince
You that you have a good man
You need to attend to
I love my freedom too
Cause I'm ready to do life if that means I'm with you
Paradise is only one step away
A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
Paradise is only one step away




A better night is only one step away
Love can travel anywhere
