One Step Ahead Lyrics by Debbie Gibson

One Step Ahead Lyrics

    Watch it
    Watch it.
    Watch it!
    Go!

    Rap:
    Always gotta be one step ahead
    You know where you're lying
    When you make your own bed
    You'll never end up in the red
    So watch your step, one step ahead

    Intro:
    Energy up!
    Bring the energy up!
    On the double

    Verse 1:
    Steppin' on toes is a common routine
    Sneakin' up from behind
    You won't get anywhere
    Dancin' out of time
    If you're living up to expectations
    You may as well be dead
    Gotta go for it - gotta go for it
    Always gotta be one step ahead
    So -

    Chorus:
    Don't calm down
    Bring the energy up
    Don't depend on lady luck
    Can't walk - you just run instead
    If you want to be one step ahead

    Verse 2:
    Look over your shoulder
    And predict what's to come
    You're not feeling life if you're simply numb
    So don't be dumb - grab the brass ring
    You really can't depend on anything
    Gotta make it happen all by yourself
    Why rely on anyone else?
    So-

    Chorus

    Don't calm down
    Bring the energy up

    Don't depend on lady luck
    Can't walk - why not run instead?
    If you wanna be one step, one step ahead

    Bridge:
    This dream is holding me tight
    Keeping me up all night - oh
    It's not out of reach - just out of sight
    Do you think i'll get it?
    Think i may, say i might - oh -

    This dream is holding me tight
    Keeping me tossing and turning
    It's not out of reach - just out of sight
    Do you think i'll get it?
    With the way i'm burning
    I just might!

    It's time to rap -
    Huh!

    Rap:
    Always gotta be one step ahead
    You know where you're lying
    When you make your own bed
    You'll never end up in the red
    So watch it!

    Don't calm down, bring the energy up
    You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
    Don't calm down, bring the energy up
    You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
    Don't calm down, bring the energy up
    (you gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)
    Are you listenin'?
    Don't calm down, bring the energy up
    (you gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)
    Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah!

    Don't calm down
    Bring the energy up
    Don't depend on lady luck
    Can't walk - gonna run instead
    If you want to be one step ahead (i know you do, huh!)

    (don't calm down, bring the energy up)
    You gotta be one step ahead,
    If you know what's good for you
    If you know what's good for you
    (don't calm down, bring the energy up)
    Don't - no - why rely on lady luck?
    Don't calm down, bring the energy up!
