1 step forward, 3 steps back lyrics

Called you on the phone today

Just to ask you how you were

All I did was speak normally

Somehow, I still struck a nerve

You got me fucked up in the head, boy

Never doubted myself so much

Like, am I pretty? Am I fun, boy?

I hate that I give you power over that kinda stuff

'Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back

I'm the love of your life until I make you mad

It's always one step forward and three steps back

Do you love me, want me, hate me?

Boy, I don't understand

No, I don't understand

And maybe in some masochistic way

I kind of find it all exciting

Like, which lover will I get today?

Will you walk me to the door or send me home crying?

It's one step forward and three steps back

I'm the love of your life until I make you mad

It's always one step forward and three steps back

Do you love me, want me, hate me?

Boy, I don't understand

No, it's back and forth, did I say something wrong?

It's back and forth, going over everything I said

It's back and forth, did I do something wrong?

It's back and forth, maybe this is all your fault instead

It's one step forward and three steps back

And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had

Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back

Do you love me, want me, hate me?

Boy, I don't understand

No, I don't understand
