Elton John

A Step Too Far (feat. Heather Headley & Sherie Scott)

Elton John


It's so strange he doesn't show me
More affection that he needs
Almost formal, too respectful
Never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind

Oh,  oh, oh, oh
Oh,  oh, oh, oh
Oh,  oh, oh, oh

I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell? Just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on it's head,
Of a life turned on it's head
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have i compromised my people?
In my passion and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I leader? Am I traitor?
Did I take a step to far?
Did I take a step to far?

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Did I take a step too far?
