I tried to give up on love   'Cause I knew I should   No matter how hard I tried   It didn't do me no good      I just stopped cold turkey   What else could I do   There were pieces of my heart all over town   And I was runnin' out of blue      I was feelin' okay   When I got out of bed   But what I saw outside my window   Was like a kick in the head      My hands started shakin'   I felt the cold chills begin   When I saw that truck pull up   Now look who's movin' in      He lives twelve steps down   In the apartment below   He's got what it takes to tempt a woman   Body and soul   And if I fall I ain't got far to go   Slidin' around   I'm losin' ground   He lives twelve steps down      I tried to get a better look   So I sneaked downstairs   And just three steps from the bottom   I saw him standing there      Ain't it just my luck   He says he wants to be my friend   He set two glasses on the table   Now he's invitin' me in      And he lives twelve steps down   In the apartment below   He's got what it takes to tempt a woman   Body and soul   And if I fall I ain't got far to go   Slidin' around   I'm losin' ground   He lives twelve steps down      He lives twelve steps down   In the apartment below   He's got what it takes to tempt a woman   Body and soul   And if I fall I ain't got far to go   Slidin' around   I'm losin' ground   He lives twelve steps down      Slidin' around   I'm losin' ground   He lives twelve steps down   Twelve steps down
