Monkees, The - Every Step Of The Way Lyrics






I used to see you on the avenue
You were the girl that let me follow you
You used to hang out in the alleyway
You sewed a button on my shirt one day
I asked around until I found your name
Then underneath the arches in the pouring rain
I said - You (yeah, you) I want you
Every step of the way

I know that things are gettin' better
I know it's gonna be OK
So baby don't go - I ain't gonna let ya
I wanna be with you every step of the way
Every step of the way

Do ya wanna, do ya wanna, do ya wanna dance?
Take a chance, baby, take a chance
I'll be with you every of the way
I'll even show you how to strut one day
Ain't got a girl and it's a crying shame
'Cos I can't figure out who's to blame
I want you (yeah, you) I want you
Every step of the way

I know that things are gettin' better
I know things will be OK
So baby don't go - I ain't gonna let ya
I wanna be with you every step of the way
Yeah, every step of the way

I know that things are gettin' better
I know things will be OK
So baby don't go - I ain't gonna let ya
I wanna be with you every step of the way
Every step of the way

  26. A.... ....

    Davy looks extremely fit and tough in this video. The hair, the black denim, the chains. Wish he'd kept this look into the 2000s.

  27. A.... Y....

    Huge lifelong Monkees fan but this was so cheesy.

    I LOVE the Monkees and have this taped on a video tape from back then. Its terribly bad. I don't blame the Monkees, I blame the 80s.

  30. J.... C....

    MONKEES ARE THE GREATEST !!

    Omg, 80s monkees is so weird to me😂😂 I'm so used to them in their 60s version

  35. K.... W....

    Is the girl Talia Jones??? Kind of hard to tell with the dark hair.

  36. A.... B....

    FAV SONG NOTHING CAN TOP THIS!!! (IF U DIDN'T ALREADY NOTICE, I'M A HUGE MONKEES FAN!)

    A.... B....

    I think this song is David's best vocal performance. He should have done more things like this.

    A.... B....

    Ariana Banana I am too and the only one at my school so kids pick on me for it

  37. t.... h....

    I remember where I was when this came out.a cobble stone street in la madalena Italy ,listening to my walkman to American top 40.my husband was in the navy.I ran to the record store and bought it. I'll never forget that moment.💘

  38. A.... W....

    I used to see you on the avenue
    You were the girl that let me follow you
    You used to hang out in the alleyway
    You sewed a button on my shirt one day
    I asked around until I found your name
    Then underneath the arches in the pouring rain
    I said - You (yeah, you) I want you
    Every step of the way

    I know that things are gettin' better
    I know it's gonna be OK
    So baby don't go - I ain't gonna let ya
    I wanna be with you every step of the way
    Every step of the way

    Do ya wanna, do ya wanna, do ya wanna dance?
    Take a chance, baby, take a chance
    I'll be with you every of the way
    I'll even show you how to strut one day
    Ain't got a girl and it's a crying shame
    'Cos I can't figure out who's to blame
    I want you (yeah, you) I want you
    Every step of the way

    I know that things are gettin' better
    I know things will be OK
    So baby don't go - I ain't gonna let ya
    I wanna be with you every step of the way
    Yeah, every step of the way

    I know that things are gettin' better
    I know things will be OK
    So baby don't go - I ain't gonna let ya
    I wanna be with you every step of the way
    Every step of the way

    A.... W....

    The lyrics are so cliched and bad .. yet I can't stop listening!

  39. A.... C....

    They look so dam hot, i can't stand it.

  40. K.... ....

    This song reminds me of the Head Of The Class theme song. You gotta jam out to the wild synthesizer chords.

  41. A.... S....

    Omg 80's Monkees r so cute

    A.... S....

    Ashley Schilla then you haven’t seen them in the 60’s

  42. M.... L....

    Haha, haven't seen this in ages. Has that 80's vibe. I must say I prefer the music from the 60's and I love Good Times

  43. n.... ....

    wish the album had sold better so they could have done another one without having to wait 10 years....but yeah i loved pool it!

    n.... ....

    It's still a fantastic album.

  44. t.... ....

    Cover of a song by Ian Hunter, of all people! So 80's! In my Monkees playlist with the original version. Thanks for the upload~

  45. R.... ....

    This is one of the best things I have ever seen! Great music, excellent ( and sooo cute) singers with just the right touch of humor...terrific video!!!

  46. l.... ....

    I LOVE Pool It !!!!!!! i just wish that there were more videos with it. Great lp :)

    l.... ....

    I was trying to turn people on to this CD when it came out. I'd blast it in my car.

    There is actually an official Rhino video for Don't let me Down. It's different. I guess there was some kind of drawing and some little girl won and the Monkees show up to her birthday party. That little girl is so blessed!

  47. M.... H....

    Peter looks SO GOOD here. Omg. 😘😘😘😘

    M.... H....

    Madeline H. Peter always looks good

    M.... H....

    Now he looks like an old hippy.

    M.... H....

    They all do.

  48. N.... N....

    LoL Fun Times!

  49. S.... G....

    A pretty good cover version of an Ian Hunter song. Fun to see/hear their interpretation.

  50. H.... J....

    "Pool It!" has to be my 3rd or 4th favorite album the Monkees recorded. It's so unique - I love it. This is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite song on the album. Love It! This video is hilarious - I haven't seen it forever.

    H.... J....

    Yes I am. In fact I loved Nesmith's songs probably the most. I like this album just because it sounds cool, and the fact it's funny to picture and hear the Monkees performing in that "trademark" 80s sound... which of course this album was released in 1987. Sure it may not have anything from Michael, but the songs on here are still great. At least he came back (for a while) for both "Justus" and "Good Times!" Unfortunately, he has retired though.

    H.... J....

    Same here but for me, it's closer to number 2 or 3. I think the singles should have been Midnight, Don't let me down, or Secret Heart. Micky at his best. Every Step of the Way is Davy's best vocal ever. Peter's two offerings are great too.

    Davy recorded I'll love you forever several times. I'm not that fond of it. However I just discovered a version he did just before he died in 2012. That's the keeper. For some reason, it's really powerful.

  51. B.... A....

    They all look so hot! Gonna download this song NOW!

  52. d.... ....

    Oh geez, this is so embarrassing. lol

    d.... ....

    +dranet First time seeing the Monkees? They always did crazy cheesy stuff!

    d.... ....

    +Buck Woodward lol No, not al all. I'm a child of the 80's and grew up watching Monkees reruns on TV. This is embarrassing because it is SO 80's kitsch!

    d.... ....

    @dranet The 80s was a fun time. You need a sense of humor.

    d.... ....

    @Susan B It was fun! And I do have one. This is still embarrassing.

    d.... ....

    @dranet A lot of 80s videos were embarrassing. But I like this one.

  53. C.... C....

    Prince Pri

  54. M.... P....

    I used to rewind Davy singing "I asked around until I found your name" so many times! I just loved how he sang it!

    M.... P....

    +Melissa Poe I love the "I want you (YA YOU!)"

    M.... P....

    I love the "Do ya wanna do ya wanna" part. *swoon*

  55. S.... B....

    I never saw this video before. It's a riot!!!!

  56. r.... ....

    The TV series should have been brought back in the 80s. 3 members of a 60s group going 80s music to fit in. I would have watched TV in the 80s if this had been done.

    r.... ....

    we try to forget the New Monkees :^(

    r.... ....

    OH MY GOSH YASSS!!! I WOULD HAVE LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! I ALREADY CONSTANTLY WATCH THE MONKEES!!!

    r.... ....

    rfb3011 that would have been great if it had been brought back

    r.... ....

    I agree.

    r.... ....

    Well I read The Monkees were offered to reboot their series but they wern't interested. So the producers auditioned hundreds of kids just like how The Monkees got the job. Hence New Monkees came on the scene. But that was short lived. All I have to say is that New Monkees are like New Coke. They both sucked and they both faded into obscurity.

  57. R.... 1....

    Great song. Davy, so dreamy.

    R.... 1....

    I actually knew Davy. He & I actually duetted together once.

  58. J.... M....

    I love the Monkees! grew up to their albums and shows. saw them twice in concert! weird Al Yankovic opened for them. they are nostalgic

  59. L.... B....

    Love this, they all look hot. x

  60. N.... R....

    Peter looked so hot in the 80's X)

    N.... R....

    He sure does.  They are all fantastic looking.  

    N.... R....

    Damn right! Peter looks HOT anytime

  61. M.... C....

    Saw Davy and the guys do this twice a night for a week in Tahoe. Front table. It was GREAT!

  62. K.... S....

    This is so bad it's good I love it

    K.... S....

    +Kate Sherman Good spoofy take on all those ego music vids of the mid-80's.

  63. A.... G....

    the 80s were a special time...

  64. B.... ....

    @Psyclonus this was after he left the group

  65. S.... B....

    I USED TO SEE YOU ON THE AHVINYUU!

  66. H.... M....

    Peter actually looks like he could be in Iron Maiden!

    H.... M....

    LOL he does looks almost like Adrian Smith the guitarist from iron maiden in the video.

  67. o.... m....

    Davy Jones had the hottest mullet and unibrow in the game! No jk! RIP!!

    o.... m....

    Yes he did!

  68. M.... H....

    They all three look great though I giggle every time I see Davy with a mullet lol My friend says I'm mean cause I said Peter was the only one who escaped the 90's without getting chubby but they look great in the 80's.

    M.... H....

    Melissa Husk I miss Davey Jones

  69. C.... P....

    This is so cool !!

  70. A.... W....

    Funny to see Davy in that black leather vest with the chains and a (GASP!) mullet? No offense Mickey, but maybe it's time to lose the mesh shirts. Hey, it happens to all of us one time or another.

  71. S.... G....

    Love the mullet on Davy lol.

  72. c.... m....

    I love this song and the video!!!! so cheese ball 80's!! I <3 it!!

  73. p.... c....

    this is one cool video, i still miss davy everday, i wish that we could turn back time to when things were. easier, nicer, kinder, gentler. im so glad that i grew up with the guys, i love them all so much. forever and always i will be a monkees fan.

  74. B.... ....

    Such a space case....heehee! I love it!!

  75. o.... h....

    what happend to mike

  76. N.... ....

    anyone going to complain theyre not 'really playing' their own brooms and trashcans? no? GOOD :P

  77. M.... B....

    From the DVD portion of the "POOL IT!" CD/DVD set issued by Friday Music! As "Heart & Soul" Video",BTW.

  78. i.... ....

    i love this song.Micky & I dated years ago, before he met his lovely wife. really amazing guy, & still in touch, spoke after davy, really sad. r.i.p.

    Still have the cas. tape.

  81. R.... ....

    Can you please tell what you mean by next March? are they going to continue a tour??

  82. M.... ....

    I think "Pool It!" is a really underrated record. It is one of my all time favorites.

    The epilogues always crack me up in this video. :)

  83. J.... B....

    Pool It was an awesome record.

  84. P.... 2....

    Love this song!!! Davy is hot!!!!!!!!hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grew up with Monkees and still love them. It is not the same without Davy, but he is in good hands now. The boys will do a wonderful tribute in November and next March.

  85. J.... E....

    Most definitely!

  86. S.... ....

    peter Micky and Davy have not lost their sense of humor or there music rip Davy

  87. J.... ....

    wow davy and mickey are way sexy in this video, love them

  88. J.... E....

    I have ''Pool It'', and I agree that ''Every Step of the Way'' is one of the better cuts.

  89. S.... ....

    Davy showed us in this clip that he worked out. And yet, he died of a heart attack. May he rest in peace.

  90. s.... ....

    Look at the guns on Peter!! Sexy, sexy, man!!!

  91. S.... ....

    One of their better songs after Mike,

  92. J.... P....

    love hw Davy can rock that mullett.

  93. S.... ....

    One of the better from POOL IT

  94. J.... F....

    this is criminal

  95. P.... P....

    Screw You Heart Attack! You Killed Davy Jones!

  96. b.... ....

    Micky looks pretty cool behind the trash-can drums but the 80s do not look like they were kind... least of all to fashion.

  97. R.... S....

    This is probably my favorite song from "Pool It!". Or maybe "Heart and Soul".

  98. B.... Q....

    They look like they are having such fun making this! Great song too! Love the Monkees!

  99. m.... ....

    I LOVE THIS SONG AND ITS GREAT!! I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE DAVY BACK!!!
