I once had a love,
A true and lasting love,
But the fool in me,
Came out one night
And with her loving eyes,
She saw right through my lies
And she changed the night
I stepped across the line

I should've watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started stepping out of line
Though she's still loving me,
It's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind

I watched her slip away
A little more everyday
For my conscience
Couldn't live with all that shame
Now she's growing colder
Since the day i told her
And the love we had
Will never be the same

I should've watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started stepping out of line
Though she's still loving me,
It's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind

That first step did something to her mind
