lyrics

I do the quickstep I see you walk my way
Quickstep sidestep backwards again
Little by little bit by bit ya' dug a hole now ya' sinking in it
Ya' dug a hole now ya' sinking in it
There's nothing more to say oh no
It's been nice knowing ya' babe

I do the quickstep I see you walk my way
Quickstep sidestep backwards again
Don't try to hurt me with ya' sticks and stones
Your bleeding heart and your broken bones
There's nothing more to say oh no....

It's been a steep steep steep learning curve
I just gotta keep keep keep holding my nerve
Yeah somethings gotta give we can't live together
Yeah somethings gotta give this was never gonna last forever
Nothing more to say oh no
It's been nice knowing ya' babe

I do the quickstep I see you walk my way
Quickstep sidestep backwards again
I guarantee you won't feel much better
When you read my lawyers letter
Yeah when you read my lawyers letter
Nothing more to say oh no

Yeah somethings gotta give ooh if we can't live together
It's been a steep steep steep learning curve
I just gotta keep keep keep holding my nerve
Oh somethings gotta give yeah somethings gotta give
Somethings gotta give if we can't live together
Yeah somethings gotta give yeah somethings gotta give
Yeah somethings gotta give this was never gonna last forever
Oh there's nothing more to say oh no
Oh it's been nice knowing you babe
