Everytime I try to get a break A lacky face get's it instead When I think I'm on the right track I take one step forward and two steps back Everytime I try to get ahead There's someone treats me like I been mislead That is why I my life is black I take one step forward and two steps back [Instrumental] I can't seem to find it, can't even see the trees And I'm hard pressed to the knees I struggle for this one, this and for that I take one step forward and two steps back One step forward and two steps back I take one step forward and two steps back Yeah!
