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!
