A Dave Edmunds style rocker about a guy who gets hit on by the babe of a lifetime, but fear of his girlfriend holds him back. Line Cecilie Dahlmann harmonizes with Brad, trying to lure him over the line: She said, one step, baby, at a time, Show me yours and I’ll show ya mine, What I got is oh-so-fine, Come on,
Sax and trumpet augment the Dave Edmunds guitar to drive the beat. Fingers Rodgers turns in a rockin' piano solo.
lyrics
Hit a party on Friday night,
My girl and I got into a fight,
She walked out, but I hung around,
Alone,
Cutest girl I've ever seen,
Halter top, skin tight jeans,
Grinned at me and she looked me,
Up and down,
She said, hey big boy,
Kiss me now, or I'm headin' on down the line,
I said, hey woman,
My girl's next door, you must be outa your mind,
She said ya better kiss me soon,
Or I’ll move on to someone new,
I said, hey woman,
If I make a move, we both might die tonight,
In love and war they say all’s fair,
Call me timid, I don’t care,
I want to keep on breathing air,
So long,
She said, one step, baby, at a time,
Show me yours and I’ll show ya mine,
And what I got is oh-so-fine,
Come on,
I said no way, baby, not tonight,
I want you bad, but I’m too uptight,
I wanna live to see the light,
Of dawn,
In love and war they say all’s fair,
Call me timid, I don’t care,
I want to keep on breathing air,
So long,
