I waited for you baby on an hot summer night
I was so hot for you, you were nowhere in sight
You thought I was foolin', so your heart took a flight
I guess we're star crossed lovers, we just can't get it right
Two years later I was out on the town
I saw you on the street and my heart hit the ground
I guess love is like a chain
And you're always bound
It's better late than never
Girl, am I gettin' through?
It's better late than never
Than livin' without you
I'm one step away
We're ships in the night but tonight
You ain't gonna get away
I'm one step away
The timing is right this time
And I'm gonna make you stay
One step away, one step away
I'm callin' on you baby like a blast from the past
I heard your heart was broken I knew it wouldn't last
Some things on forever
And some things burn out fast
It's better late than never
Girl, am I gettin' through?
It's better late than never
Than livin' without you
I'm one step away
We're ships in the night but tonight
You ain't gonna get away
I'm one step away
The timing is right this time
And I'm gonna make you stay
One step away, one step away
It's better late than never
Girl, am I gettin' through?
It's better late than never
Than livin' without you
I'm waiting for you baby on this hot summer night
So hot for you but you're nowhere in sight
You still think I'm foolin', so your heart took a flight
We're star crossed lovers, we just can't get it right
I'm one step away
We're ships in the night but tonight
You ain't gonna get away
I'm one step away
The timing is right this time
And I'm gonna make you stay
One step away, one step away
One step away
One step away
I'm one step away
We're ships in the night but tonight
You ain't gonna get away
I'm one step away
The timing is right this time
