Called you on the phone today Just to ask you how you were All I did was speak normally Somehow I still struck a nerve
You got me fucked up in the head, boy Never doubted myself so much Like am I pretty? Am I fun, boy? I hate that I gave you power over that kind of stuff
‘Cause it’s always one step forward and three steps back I’m the love of your life until I make you mad It’s always one step forward and three steps back Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy? I don’t understand No, I don’t understand
And maybe in some masochistic way I kind of find it all exciting Like which lover will I get today? Will you walk me to the door or send me home cryin’?
It’s one step forward and three steps back I’m the love of your life until I make you mad It’s always one step forward and three steps back Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy? I don’t understand
No, it’s back and forth, did I say something wrong? It’s back and forth, going over everything I said It’s back and forth, did I do something wrong? It’s back and forth, maybe, this is all your fault instead
It’s one step forward and three steps back And I’d leave you, but the roller coaster’s all I’ve ever had Yeah, it’s one step forward and three steps back Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy? I don’t understand No, I don’t understand
