I was the one who begged for a promise,
I made a promise that I couldn't keep.
I was the one who swore to be honest.
I made my bed now I lie in my sleep.
Just one little step backward, just one little step back,
And I fell from grace into your arms.

I'm grateful to whoever sent me this angel.
They ought to be sainted or burned at the stake.
My heart from my home -- how did this get arranged?
One little step -- that's all that it takes.
Just one little step backward, just one little step back,
And I fell from grace into your arms.

Suddenly I'm drugged by this new ecstacy,
Suddenly I'm living a cliche,
Suddenly tomorrow is my enemy,
Suddenly your skin is my today.

If there's a record of guilt and evasion
Just put my name at the top of the list.
Add me to those who succumb to temptation.
Add me to those who betray with a kiss.
Just one little step backward, just one little step back,
And I fell from grace into your arms.
