[Intro] Tommy used to live on the second floor I guess he doesn't live there, anymore Mary used to live in the room downstairs And no one ever saw her behind that door [Pre-Chorus] And everyday They'd pa** each other in the hall And every night They'd sit alone behind that wall [Chorus] And love Was just a few steps away... [Verse 1] Came a day, one afternoon Tommy met Mary She was leaving her room They walked together through the summer heat And said goodbye At the end of the street And all that night He lay awake in bed Thought of the girl That he just met And down below She lay awake, too Neither of them knowing Just what to do [Chorus] And love Was just a few steps away... [Bridge] And isn't it strange? Two people never knowing That the other is there And isn't it life? So near And yet so far And almost at your door But isn't it sad? When the one That you want Is almost at your door But you You never know... [Solo] [Verse 2] They fell in love, but who can say What might have happened On another day Tommy didn't want to push too fast And Mary didn't know If this love could last [Pre-Chorus] And everyday They'd pa** each other in the hall And every night They'd sit alone behind that wall [Chorus] And love Was just a few steps away... [Outro] Just a few steps away... Oh, love... Just a few steps away... A few steps away... A few steps away... Ohh...
