Wakin' up to nothing,
Can really blow your mind.
Oh, hanging on the phone listnin' to her jive,
Is just a waste of time. (Yeah, yeah)
People look at me and say,
"What is he ever gonna be?"
They don't know that deep inside,
I'm happy and so free. (Oooh)

[Chorus]
Takin' it one step at a time.
Makin' sure I don't lose my mind.
Takin' it one step at a time.
All of my troubles will be fine.

Walkin' down the street,
With my hand in my hair.
People say I'm goin' nowhere.
I get invited to a party,
And I don't wanna go.
But all my so-called friends are there.
Take the train downtown,
I'm hanging around.
Oh man, if they only knew. (Huh, yeah)
There's a whole crazy big world,
Out there.
And I'm sure there's something,
That I can do.

[Chorus]
Takin' it one step at a time.
Makin' sure I don't lose my mind.
Takin' it one step at a time.
All of my troubles will be fine.

[Chorus]
Takin' it one step at a time.
Makin' sure I don't lose my mind.
Takin' it one step at a time.
All of my troubles will be fine.

(Ooooh, Ooooh)
(Ooooh, Ooooh)
(Ooooh, Ooooh)
(Ooooh, Ooooh)
(Ooooh, Ooooh)

[Chorus]
Takin' it one step at a time.
Makin' sure I don't lose my mind.
Takin' it one step at a time.
All of my troubles will be fine.
I gotta make sure I don't loose my mind.
Don't lose my mind.

[Chorus]
Takin' it one step at a time.
Makin' sure I don't lose my mind.
Takin' it one step at a time.
All of my troubles will be fine.

I gotta take it easy.
(Ooooh, Ooooh)
