(april holbrook/n. mcelroy)
I tried to give up on love
'cause i knew i should
No matter how hard i tried
It didn't do me no good
I just stopped cold turkey
What else could i do
There were pieces of my heart all over town
And i was runnin' out of blue
I was feelin' okay
When i got out of bed
But what i saw outside my window
Was like a kick in the head
My hands started shakin'
I felt the cold chills begin
When i saw that truck pull up
Now look who's movin' in
He lives twelve steps down
In the apartment below
He's got what it takes to tempt a woman
Body and soul
And if i fall i ain't got far to go
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
I tried to get a better look
So i sneaked downstairs
And just three steps from the bottom
I saw him standing there
Ain't it just my luck
He says he wants to be my friend
He set two gla**es on the table
Now he's invitin' me in
And he lives twelve steps down
In the apartment below
He's got what it takes to tempt a woman
Body and soul
And if i fall i ain't got far to go
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
He lives twelve steps down
In the apartment below
He's got what it takes to tempt a woman
Body and soul
And if i fall i ain't got far to go
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
Twelve steps down
