Take your tiny feet out of your mother's shoes<br>
Or there is going to be a terrible scene
Or there is going to be a terrible scene<br>
 
It's not just the lipstick drawn on crooked<br>
It's not just the lipstick drawn on crooked
When they find how wicked we are<br>
 
How wicked we have been<br>
When they find how wicked we are
How I've been tempted<br>
 
How you tripped at every step<br>
How wicked we have been
You tripped at every step<br>
 
You tripped at every step<br>
How I've been tempted
How you tripped at every step<br>
 
<br>
How you tripped at every step
There's a merry tune that starts in "I" and ends in "You"<br>
 
Like many famous pop songs do<br>
You tripped at every step
And you would sing along with little tell-tale staggers<br>
 
While balancing on daggers<br>
You tripped at every step
Though they were killing you<br>
 
You looked so deadly<br>
How you tripped at every step
As you tripped at every step<br>
 
You tripped at every step<br>
 
You tripped at every step<br>
 
As you tripped at every step<br>
There's a merry tune that starts in "I" and ends in "You"
<br>
 
And I would run to catch you<br>
Like many famous pop songs do
Anytime you call<br>
 
Only you drank that potion<br>
And you would sing along with little tell-tale staggers
And went out of control<br>
 
There's nothing to stop you<br>
While balancing on daggers
So how can you fall<br>
 
Let me take your hand<br>
Though they were killing you
Put down that frying pan<br>
 
<br>
You looked so deadly
Darkness would become me<br>
 
Underneath the table<br>
As you tripped at every step
As the fury raged around the house<br>
 
Your despairing tread was angry and unstable<br>
You tripped at every step
You never suspected<br>
 
Just as that cartoon mouse<br>
You tripped at every step
Went undetected<br>
 
So you tripped at every step<br>
As you tripped at every step
<br>
 
In another world of gin and cigarettes<br>
 
Those cocktail cabinets put mud in your eye<br>
 
Maybe that is why you find it hard to see me<br>
And I would run to catch you
And if you don't believe me<br>
 
Before you start to cry<br>
Anytime you call
"Don't ever leave me"<br>
 
As you start to lose your grip<br>
Only you drank that potion
(As you start losing your grip)<br>
 
You will stumble and you slip<br>
And went out of control
(And you will stumble and slip)<br>
 
As you tripped at every step<br>
There's nothing to stop you
You tripped at every step<br>
 
You tripped at every step<br>
So how can you fall
As you tripped at every step<br>
 
<br>
Let me take your hand
You tripped at every step<br>
 
You tripped at every step<br>
Put down that frying pan
As you tripped at every<br>
 
As you tripped at every<br>
 
You tripped at every step<br>
 
You tripped at every step<br>
Darkness would become me
As you tripped at every<br>

lyrics for
You Tripped At Every Step

Take your tiny feet out of your mother's shoes
Or there is going to be a terrible scene
It's not just the lipstick drawn on crooked
When they find how wicked we are
How wicked we have been
How I've been tempted
How you tripped at every step
You tripped at every step
You tripped at every step
How you tripped at every step

There's a merry tune that starts in "I" and ends in "You"
Like many famous pop songs do
And you would sing along with little tell-tale staggers
While balancing on daggers
Though they were killing you
You looked so deadly
As you tripped at every step
You tripped at every step
You tripped at every step
As you tripped at every step

And I would run to catch you
Anytime you call
Only you drank that potion
And went out of control
There's nothing to stop you
So how can you fall
Let me take your hand
Put down that frying pan

Darkness would become me
Underneath the table
As the fury raged around the house
Your despairing tread was angry and unstable
You never suspected
Just as that cartoon mouse
Went undetected
So you tripped at every step

In another world of gin and cigarettes
Those cocktail cabinets put mud in your eye
Maybe that is why you find it hard to see me
And if you don't believe me
Before you start to cry
"Don't ever leave me"
As you start to lose your grip
(As you start losing your grip)
You will stumble and you slip
(And you will stumble and slip)
As you tripped at every step
You tripped at every step
You tripped at every step
As you tripped at every step

You tripped at every step
You tripped at every step
As you tripped at every
As you tripped at every
You tripped at every step
You tripped at every step
As you tripped at every
As you tripped at every step
