Lyrics:

I was just a joker in a serious game
I didn't have the heart to play
But sooner or later
I'll find a reason to throw it away
Risin' on the crest of a natural wave
That never seems to break my way
I'm livin' without it
But I got to do somethin' about it
Step by step
Little by little (move a little closer to me)
Step by step
Take it line by line (one day at a time)
Move, move, move
Move a little closer (move a little closer to me)
Step by step
The deal is mine

I was just a runner in a one-horse race
Livin' on the don't pass line
Sooner or later
I got to lose 'cause I'm wastin' my time
Lady Luck must have been a wonderful girl
She's never been a friend of mine
I'm livin' without her
But I still got that mountain to climb
Step by step
Little by little (move a little closer to me)
Step by step
Take it line by line (one day at a time)
Move, move, move
Move a little closer (move a little closer to me)
Step by step
The deal is mine

Step by step
Little by little (move a little closer to me)
Step by step
Take it line by line (one day at a time)
Move, move, move
Move a little closer (move a little closer to me)
Step by step
Ooh, the deal is mine
