You got me breaking a sweat
Working my way back to you step by step
These days you're playing it hard to get
I keep on singing my song
How I know I did you wrong?
But you keep on stringing me along

(Putting me through my paces)
Keeping me on the move
(Driving my heartbeat crazy)
Just keeping up with you
'Cause you're making me work for your love

Took you for granted before
And I watched you walk out that door
But I ain't making the same mistake anymore, baby
No, you don't gotta slow down for me
I'll pick up my pace just to make you see
Yeah you'll see just what your loving really means

Step by step, baby
Got my heartbeat racing
Putting me through my paces
Body's going crazy
Step by step, baby
Got my heartbeat racing
Putting me through my paces
Body's going crazy

There he goes, the nation's leading self-correcting, persevering
Satisfaction-guaranteed
Redemption-seeking, speed machine

(Step by step, baby)
I'm going step by step
Working my way back to you
(Got my heartbeat racing)
(Putting me through my paces)
(Body's going crazy)
Yeah, my body's going crazy now (step by step, baby)
(Got my heartbeat racing yeah)
Speedwalk, speedwalk
Hey
