1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back Lyrics

Called You On The Phone Today
Just To Ask You How You Were
All I Did Was Speak Normally
Somehow I Still Struck A Nerve

You Got Me Fucked Up In The Head,
Boy
Never Doubted Myself So Much
Like, Am I Pretty?
Am I Fun, Boy?
I Hate That I Give You Power
Over That Kind Of Stuff

’cause It’s Always One Step
Forward And Three Steps Back
I’m The Love Of Your Life
Until I Make You Mad
It’s Always One Step Forward
And Three Steps Back
Do You Love Me, Want Me, Hate Me?
Boy, I Don’t Understand
No, I Don’t Understand

And Maybe In Some Masochistic Way
I Kinda Find It All Exciting
Like, Which Lover Will I Get Today?
Will You Walk Me To The Door
Or Send Me Home Cryin’?

It’s One Step Forward
And Three Steps Back
I’m The Love Of Your Life
Until I Make You Mad
It’s Always One Step Forward
And Three Steps Back
Do You Love Me, Want Me, Hate Me?
Boy, I Don’t Understand

No, It’s Back And Forth,
Did I Say Something Wrong?
It’s Back And Forth,
Goin’ Over Everything I Said
It’s Back And Forth,
Did I Do Something Wrong?
It’s Back And Forth,
Maybe This Is All Your Fault

Instead It’s One Step Forward
And Three Steps Back
And I’d Leave You, But The
Roller Coaster Is All I’ve Ever Had
Yeah, It’s One Step Forward
And Three Steps Back
Do You Love Me, Want Me,
Hate Me? Boy
I Don’t Understand
No, I Don’t Understand
