[Verse 1: Alan Sharland]
I'm sick and tired of being told I'm an impatient boy
I took the bait and made a beeline for your heart
You left me broken on the floor like a discarded toy
I should have known it from the start

[Verse 2: Alan Sharland]
My destination is the place where only fools rush in
Too quick to trace the paces of my racing heart
Gone home to steal a starring role in your biography
And dreamt I'd graced the pages from the start

[Chorus: Irwin Sparkes]
(You gotta know)
With every little step, I follow, wherever you may go
(I really love you)
And I would beg, or steal, or borrow just to let you know

[Verse 3: Alan Sharland]
You sow a seed I can't delete, it grew such hope in me
Your sunshine face, your branches wrapped around my soul
Left to neglect, it grew so sweetly while it's choking me
How could I ever let it go?

[Chorus: Irwin Sparkes]
(You gotta know)
With every little step, I follow, wherever you may go
(I really love you)
And I would beg, or steal, or borrow just to let you know
[Verse 4: Alan Sharland]
I rolled the dice, it was a chance I was prepared to take
Not ever one to think that ignorance was bliss
I took the plunge safe and acknowledged that it was make or break
And either way, I know it's worth the risk

[Chorus: Irwin Sparkes]
(You gotta know)
With every little step, I follow, wherever you may go
(I really love you)
And I would beg, or steal, or borrow, just to let you know
(You gotta know)
These words will make or break my sorrow, make you stay or make you go
(I will love you)
And even if you're gone tomorrow, at least I'll know you know

[Outro: Irwin Sparkes]
You gotta slow down, boy
You'll get another chance tomorrow
You gotta slow down, boy
You'll get another chance tomorrow
You gotta slow down, boy
You'll get another chance tomorrow
You gotta slow down, boy
You'll get another chance tomorrow
