(ian hunter/mark clarke)
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 wannado you wannado 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 ’n’ 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 o.k.
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 ’n’ me baby — me ’n’ 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
