I used to see you on the avenue   You were the girl that let me follow you   You used to hang out in the alleyway   You sewed a button on my shirt one day      I asked around 'til I found your name   Then underneath the arches in the pourin' rain   I said you, yeah you   I want you, every step of the way      Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you wanna dance?   Take a chance baby, take a chance   I'll be with you every step of the way   I'll even show you how to strut someday      Ain't got a girl an' it's a cryin' shame   I can't figure out who's to blame   I want you, yeah you   I want you, every step of the way      I know things gettin' better   I know it's gonna be okay   So don't go, I ain't gonna let ya   I wanna be with you, every step of the way      So take a walk down the avenue   Just you an' me baby, me an' you   Remember that night in the alleyway   You know something, you still look the same      This world is a mean old world   It don't mean nothin' without you girl   I want you, yeah you   I want you, every step of the way
