I was just a joker in a serious game
I didn't have the heart to play
But sooner or later
I'll find a reason to throw it away

Risin' on the crest of a natural wave
That never seems to break my way
I'm livin' without it
But I got to do something about it

(Step by step) Little by little
(Move a little closer to me)
(Step by step) Take it line by line
(One day at a time)
(Move, move, move) Move a little closer
(Move a little closer to me)
(Step by step) The deal is mine

I was just a runner in a one horse race
Livin' on the don't pass line
Sooner or later
I got to lose cause I'm wasting my time

Lady Luck, she must have been a wonderful girl
She's never been a friend of mine
I'm living without her
But I still got that mountain to climb

(Step by step) Little by little
(Move a little closer to me)
(Step by step) Take it line by line
(One day at a time)
(Move, move, move) Move a little closer
(Move a little closer to me)
(Step by step) The deal is mine

(Repeat)
