It was Friday night and we hit the floor

But I was missin’ something that was there before

Your do-si-do was feelin’ slow

And you kept steppin’ on my toes

Made me look just like a fool out there

In all my fancy clothes

I asked you what was eatin’ you

Was it something that I said or something I forgot to do

But you turned your back on me

Guess you had another place to be

Left me feelin’ like that waltz in Tennessee

CHORUS

Now it’s one step forward but it’s two steps back

Guess we musta lost that rhythm when our love went off the tracks

You got me turned around ’til I just can’t win

You been two-steppin on my heart again

Now you’re cutting a rug with my best friend

I heard too many country songs to wonder how this story ends

You dipped the lowest that you could

And kept on headin’ for the floor

I’d come around to pick you up

But someone else got there before

I’d love to tell you that I’m over you

And I’m stayin’ here until the music’s through

But that ain’t the way it goes

It’s just like everybody knows

Ain’t no two-steppin’ if you can’t come up with two
