One Step Forward, Two Steps Back - John Sebastian

Baby, Baby, Baby, I got trouble in mind

I can’t hide what I see

But I wish that I was blind

We’re dancin' to the music and we’re both in time

But when the music’s over

I find that I’ve been left behind

One step forward, two steps back

It’s a crazy dance

Darlin' do you think that there’s

A chance for our romance

Baby, Baby, Baby, we’re comin' apart I fear

Cause each time I take one step forward

You take two to the rear

The Foreign Legion, the Sudan region

The Bedouins front and rear

The captain turned to the ranks

And he said I need one volunteer here

Volunteer take one step forward

Everyone else stand still

Well you do the rest

They took one step forward

And I had to go up the hill

One step forward, two steps back

It’s a crazy dance

Darlin' do you think that there’s

A chance for our romance

Soldier, soldier, soldier

Didn’t you know from the first

Volunteer take one step forward

You take two in reverse

One step forward, two steps back

The situation, the aggrevation

It’s gettin' worse every day

Every time I go to leave

She tells me I should stay

I’d almost changed my mind

I’d started to unpack

But as my feet took one step forward

She took two steps back
