Lyrics
I'm one step away from self-destruction
Yesterday, in a certain section of the Daily Times
The paper read, you will be wed to a friend of mine.
But if that's the price I have to pay
I'll accept the crumbs she throws away
'Cause I [I] can't spend another day
of you being away from me dear.
Oh there [there] must be another way,
you don't know how I pray, for you here.
I'm one step away from self-destruction
[believe me baby]
Just one step away from self-destruction
[Hey hey hey hey hey]
In my vista I cry all lonely tears
Cause they have seen the happiness we've had through the years
But now you've gone to another,
and now we're away from each other.
Oh I, [I] can't spend another day
of you being away from me dear
Oh there [there] must be another way,
you don't know how I pray, for you here.
I'm one step away from self-destruction
[believe me baby]
Just one step away from self-destruction
[Hey hey hey hey hey]
Mmm baby, why did you leave me?
[leave me, leave me, leave me]
Ohh baby, why did you deceive me?
[deceive me, deceive me, deceive me]
[I] can't spend another day
of you being away from me dear
Oh there [there] must be another way,
you don't know how I pray for you here.
I'm one step away from self-destruction
[believe me baby]
Just one step away from self-destruction
[Hey hey hey hey hey]
Oh, one step away from self-destruction
[believe me baby]
I'm one step away from self-destruction
[Hey hey hey hey hey]
Just one step away from self-destruction
[believe me baby]
[fade out]
