If you could you teach me to dance Like I don't have the soul of a white man Like I don't have seven left feet I would be replete Safe in the house That your arms have built me But I don't think I can keep up With the footwork And you're one step ahead I'm just one step behind You're just one step ahead I'm just one step behind I scared off all the crows When I was out practicing my shuffle And all the neighbours said what a strange man But they can't understand How I want to animate these limbs How I wish you could feel them interlocking And you're one step ahead I'm just one step behind You're just one step ahead I'm just one step behind
