Liza Minnelli
"One Step"


(feat. Goldie Hawn)

One step,
I took myself.
One step,
One tentative,
One step.
And suddenly,
Wow!
High life,
Had stepped into my life.
I never would try life,
But look at me now!

When did,
My world become splendid?
Unhappiness ended,
The moment I flew!
And I took myself,
One step.
One positive,
One step.
And taking that one step,
Get closer to...

It was one of those days,
I spent in a haze.
I mean I was just moping around.
And while I was moping,
I happened to open a closet,
And look what I found!
A flat sort of ring,
I fingered the thing,
I pressed it and suddenly...
I've never been one for flipping my lid,
But I gotta tell ya that flip it I did.

I am not the type to go putting on hats.
I'm certainly not a girl who is hot,
To be laughed at in white tie and spats.
But suddenly clear,
A voice in my ear,
Was starting to say to me, “Jerk!
You don't have to sing,
You don't have to dance,
But nothin' will happen till you take a chance!”

When did,
My world become splendid?
Unhappiness ended,
The moment I flew!
And I took myself,
One step.
One positive,
One step.
And taking that one step,
Get closer to...

Well I know that you folks,
Are very theatrically wise.
So I know that this news,
Won't come as the slightest surprise.
But just in cause you're in doubt
As whether or not, or whether.
This is one of those songs,
With two parts,
Where both of them go together.

It was one of those days,
I spent in a haze.
(One step,)
I mean I was just moping around.
(I took myself.)
And while I was moping,
(One step,)
I happened to open a closet,
And look what I found!
(One tentative,)
A flat sort of ring,
(One step.)
I fingered the thing,
I pressed it and suddenly...
(And suddenly,)
(Wow!)
I've never been one for flipping my lid,
But I gotta tell ya that flip it I did.

(Had stepped into my life.)

To be laughed at in white tie and spats.

Unhappiness ended,
The moment I flew!
And I took myself,
One step.
One positive,
One step.
And taking that one step,
Get closer to you!
