2 Steps Back

Music and lyrics by Craig David, Soulshock, K. Karlin, Nate Buttler, Jimmy Cozier, Harold Lilly


You know I'm the kinda guy that does 9 to 5
Working real hard 'cause that's the way I live my life
Back home just me and you girl all alone
With no one interrupting, switch off the phone
But I could be that other guy
Who comes home late night after night and tells your lies
So why are you tripping out on me girl all the time
When everyday it's only you that's on my mind

  Chorus
Every time we take one step forward
You take 2 steps back
Everytime it's right you bring left back
Girl you really ought to think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I'm been there for you and that's the truth

  Chorus

You know you're the kinda girl that doesn't need to frown
Keep it real let me know just what you want
Sometimes you just don't know when to stop
You worry so much over nothing
You risk losing what you've got
Now can't you see there's no other girl
I think you're the most beautiful woman in this world
But you say I don't appreciate you
And I don't know how to treat you
We don't do the same thing we did no more

  Chorus twice

(Remember)
It wasn't that long ago
You told me that you loved me so
Don't forget all the nights we shared
When you told me girl how much you cared
(Remember)
You think I'm being led astray
But that's the way plays play
I'm not that kinda man
Why can't you understand
'Cause I want you to trust in me
Baby girl can't you see
You only gonna mess things up
You've done enough
Why can't you stop
'Cause you're gonna lose what's good for you
And it's the last thing you wanna do
Won't find another let me hold

  Chorus thrice
