JUST ONE STEP FROM WALKING OUT ON YOU
(Lear / Cox)

Roy Lear - 1976



I've taken all that I can stand, my heart can't take no more
I'm a-building up my courage to walk right out the door
'Cause I've lost count of all the times I've tried to hold my tears
And I'm just one step from walking out on you

Yes, I'm just one short step from walking out the door
One short step and I won't be home no more
And I just don't think you realise the shame you've put me through
Now I'm just one step from walking out on you

(Instrumental Break)

You leave by myself at night and go out on the town
And I just sit at home alone, while you're out running round
But now I've finally found the nerve to tell you that we're through
And I'm just one step from walking out on you

Yes, I'm just one short step from walking out the door
One short step and I won't be home no more
And I just don't think you realise the shame you've put me through
Now I'm just one step from walking out on you
