(Bob McDill/Paul Harrison)

Stop that knocking on my front door
I know what you're up to now
Don't be coming 'round here no more

Flashing that smile around
I know what you're doing to me
I know that you're the heartbreak kind
Well honey you almost fooled me
But I wised up just in time

One step from a heartache
Two steps from the blues
So close to a teardrop
I know what you were gonna do
But I'm one step ahead of you

Don't be calling me on the phone
I'm hanging up if you do
I know you only been putting me on
But honey I'm on to you
I let down my defenses
When I saw those big brown eyes
But I came to my senses
Just in the nick of time

One step from a heartache
Two steps from the blues
So close to a teardrop
I know what you were gonna do
But I'm one step ahead of you

One step from a heartache
Two steps from the blues
So close to a teardrop
I know what you were gonna do
But I'm one step ahead of you

One step from a heartache
Two steps from the blues
So close to a teardrop
I know what you were gonna do
But I'm one step ahead of you
