Lyrics
ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR © 2012 Ken Kahn
You pick me up, and you tell me how
We're gonna shine if we start right now
Our big love's gonna make the news
Feels like an offer I can't refuse
So I want you, you want me
You think you're pretty fast
What I've seen in my short life,
This kind of thing don't last
I'm no stranger to two-time women,
But I can't do that no more. So I'm
One foot just a bit deeper in love and one foot out the door.
I beg your pardon, baby, what you say
The things you'll do if I decide to stay
I hear you whisper, baby, sweet and low
What I'll miss if I decide to go.
So I like you, you like me
And you like to go real fast
But look me in the eyes now honey
Can you say that this will last?
And your last man was a jealous man
And he packs a .44. Now I'm
One foot just a bit deeper in love and one foot out the door.
Now I'll remember your sweet kiss and
That little black dress you wore -- but I'm
One foot just a bit deeper in love and one foot out the door.
Yeah, one foot just a bit deeper in love and one foot out the door.
