Two Steps Back Lyrics


Ooh, Craig David, yeah
You know I'm the kind of guy that does nine to five
Working real hard 'cos that's the way I live my life
Back home just me and you girl all alone
With no one interrupting, switch off the phone
But I could be that other guy
Who comes home late night then tells you lies
So why you tripping out on me girl all the time
When every day it's only you that's on my mind, oh
Every time we take one step forward you take 2 steps back
Every time it's right you bring left back, oh
Girl you really ought to think about it 'cos there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward you take 2 steps back
Every time it's right you bring left back, oh
Girl you really ought to think about it 'cos there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
You know you're the kind of girl that doesn't need to front

Keep it real, let me know just what you want
Sometimes you just don't know when to stop
You worry so much over nothing you risk losing what you've got
Now can't you see there's no other girl
I think you're the most beautiful woman in this world, yeah
But you say I don't appreciate you and I don't know how to treat you
We don't do the same things we did no more
Every time we take one step forward you take 2 steps back
Every time it's right you bring left back, oh
Girl you really ought to think about it 'cos there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward you take 2 steps back
Every time it's right you bring left back, oh
Girl you really ought to think about it 'cos there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Remember it wasn't that long ago
You told me that you loved me so
Don't forget all the nights we shared
When you told me girl just how much you cared
Remember you think I'm being led astray
But thats the way players play
I'm not that kind of man
Why can't you understand
'Cos I want you to trust in me baby girl can't you see
You'`re only gonna mess things up
You've done enough why can't you stop cos
You're gonna lose what's good for you
And thats the last thing you wanna do
Won't find another like me, oh
Every time we take one step forward you take 2 steps back
Every time it's right you bring left back, oh
Girl you really ought to think about it 'cos there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward you take 2 steps back
Every time it's right you bring left back, oh
Girl you really ought to think about it 'cos there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward you take 2 steps back
Every time it's right you bring left back, oh
Girl you really ought to think about it 'cos there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time in the beginning

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
R&B sensation Craig David was barely out of his teens when he took a hold of the U.K. pop circuit, twisted it around, and threw it back on its head during fall 2000. This fresh-faced native of Southampton, England, was merely playing into his love of funkadelic hip-hop and crooning urban stylings when he started writing songs as a teenager. His love for Terence Trent D'Arby, Sisqo, and Donnell Jones allowed him to put his creative love for art, culture, and history into a musical beat all his own. And the new millennium belonged to him and garage had been redefined.

Born Craig Ashley David on May 5, 1981, David was slicing and dicing ragga and R&B on the local station PCRS 106.5FM and found himself playing club gigs prior to rubbing elbows with some of music's finest. It was during this time he hooked with Artful Dodger's Mark Hill. After winning a national writing competition, Craig was more than ready to start producing with Hill. His big break came when he put his own additives on Damage's "I'm Ready," a B-side to "Wonderful Tonight." Soon thereafter he remixed his own version of Human League's "Human" and started himself a regular spot in area clubs during the weekends. "Rewind" was another underground smash, specifically a definitive move for David. His respect for Stevie Wonder, Faith Evans, and R. Kelly was most apparent, however his own vocal talent was beginning to shine. He and Hill's specialty show on Capital Radio provided another outlet for David to shape his musical work of genius. "Fill Me In" proved yet another hit, shooting straight to number one in summer 2000. David was now the youngest British male solo artist to have a number one single. He was 19-years-old.

A deal with Wildstar Records in the U.K. sparked toward the end of the summer as "Re-Rewind" and "7 Days" gained praise in late November. A stateside agreement with Atlantic also led to more global hype. He had sold 3.5 million records worldwide and garage was finally becoming massive overseas and it was David's debut Born to Do It that was at the head.

But not all were pulling for this R&B prodigy. Aside from winning three awards at the MOBO's in October, Craig David walked away empty handed at the 2000 Brit Awards in February 2001. He was up for six nominations, including Best British Male Solo Artist, Best British Newcomer, and Best British Single for "7 Days," but industry politics fell into operation. Many mainstream stars came to David's defense, artists such as Elton John, U2, and Robbie Williams, professing their disgust for the ill recognition for David and his musical efforts in the past year. Death threats soon followed for the superstar in spring 2001 as he took the stage in a show in London. An anonymous caller claimed a soldier would injure David with tear gas and hand grenades. Still, his record sales continued to soar in the U.K. with sales of Born to Do It increasing over 100 percent after his dismal beginning months of 2001. He bombared American Shores with a deal with Atlantic and released Born to Do It stateside in summer 2001. Mainstream radio flocked to him immediately. Missy Elliott, Beyoncé Knowles, and Usher called themselves fans.

The next year, things didn't simmer down for the now international pop star. Craig David returned with a sophomore effort Slicker Than Your Average in November 2002. This particular album saw a much grittier side from David. Debut single "What's Your Flava?" also became one of the year's hottest singles.

In 2005 he released his 3rd album "The Story Goes...", the first single of the album, "All The Way", returned him to the top three, and the second single, "Don't Love You No More (I'm Sorry)", tied with "7 Days" as his longest running single in the charts since "Rewind", spending 15 weeks inside the UK top 75. However, the album's third single, "Unbelievable", debuted and peaked at #18 in March 2006.

In 2007, he collaborated with UK rapper Kano on his upcoming album London Town, for the single "This is the Girl". The track was released on August 27, 2007 and debuted at #18 on the UK charts.

The first single "Hot Stuff" from the album Trust Me, was released on November 5, 2007 . The single was a top ten hit, whilst the album charted at #18 on the UK Albums Chart.

"6 of 1 Thing", the second single to be taken from Trust Me charted at thirty-nine on the UK Singles Chart, becoming his second lowest charting single to date.

His UK tour will start in June 2008, details of which can be found on the official website.
