One Step Over The Line

When I look into your eyes
See the world cut down to size
Baby don't apologize
For taking me one step over the line

When I touch your secret skin
Babe I know it ain't no sin
I feel you starting to give in
Now let's go one step over the line

I know it's just your daddy's car
Your daddy never went this far
Baby, we know who we are
Let's go one step over the line

I can feel you're driving legal
We can make those tires squeal
Ooo I like the way it feels
Taking it one step over the line

One step forward and two steps back
It's for the birds now baby
I'm talking cave walking, in the black
Crossing that line and I don't mean maybe

I hear they buried lover's lane
In a sea of tears and blame
Let's you and me go up in flames
Baby, one step over the line

They're drawing boxes on the ground
Just to make us look down
What we gotta do is look around
Take it one step over the line
One step over the line, c'mon baby
One step over the line

Baby, gotta keep on moving (Baby c'mon over)
Gotta keep it grooving (Just one step baby)
C'mon let's go baby (Just don't look down, baby)
And take it one step over the line

Just are you willing
This love is thrilling
It's only time we're killing
Let's take it one step over the line

We gotta find a direction, baby
Don't need no protection, baby
Let's make that connection, baby
Take it one step over the line

Just one small step for mankind
One giant step for us
C'mon girl
One step over the line
