(ian hunter/mark clarke) I used to see you on the avenue You were the girl that let me follow you You used to hang out in the alleyway You sewed a bu*ton on my shirt one day I asked around til i found your name Then underneath the arches in the pourin' rain I said you (yeah you) I want you - every step of the way Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you wanna dance Take a chance baby - take a chance I'll be with you every step of the way I'll even show you how to strut someday Ain't got a girl 'n' it's a cryin' shame
I can't figure out who's to blame I want you (yeah you) I want you - every step of the way I know - things gettin' better I know - it's gonna be o.k. So don't go - i ain't gonna let ya I wanna be with you - every step of the way So take a walk down the avenue Just you 'n' me baby - me 'n' you Remember that night in the alleyway You know something - you still look the same This world is a mean old world It don't mean nothin' without you girl I want you (yeah you) I want you - every step of the way
