One step for boys, one step for girls, step away
One step for you, one step for me, step away
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just the sad lovers' waltz
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just the sad lovers' waltz

One step for anger, one step for pain, step away
One step for right, one step for wrong, step away
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz

One step for boys, one step for girls, step away
One step for you, one step for me, step away
One more step makes three, and three steps a waltz
Don't take the third step, cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz
