Waite, John - Every Step Of The Way Lyrics






I spend my time
Thinkin' 'bout you constantly
It's true that I want you
You're the meaning of success to me
Cause anything you want
You can get from me
Don't try to work it out
Just let it be
Emotion has no price
And love is free
I've been going round in circles
You're always on my mind
I need you so bad
It's driving me out of my mind
Reflected in your eyes
Can't you see
You and I against the world
Young lions roam free
You're always taking me somewhere
That I've never seen
No matter where you go
I'm with you
Every step of the way
No matter what you need
I've got more every single day
My heart is full for you
And I'm longing to find you
Every step of the way
I'm with you
Every step of the way
I'm right beside you
Cause anything you want
You can get from me
Don't try to work it out
Just let it be
Emotion has no price
And love is free
It's free and no matter where you go
I'm with you
Every step of the way
No matter what you need
I've got more every single day
My heart is full for you
In your shadow you'll find me
Every step of the way
I'm with you
Every step of the way
I'm right beside you
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
I'm right beside you
Every single day
No matter what you do
Or who you do it to
No matter where you've been
No matter what you say
Or who you say it to
No matter what you do
I will stay close to you
Every step of the way
Every single day
Every step of the way

  1. l.... ....

    Ivan Kral's version of this song (the co-writer) is a million times better than this dated 80s shit, (even though he recorded it in the 80s too), and it has a killer bridge that is left out of this version.. too bad it's not on youtube.. maybe it's available somewhere, Ivan Kral, Eastern Bloc, Every Step of the Way. check it out...

    Summer of 85' wish I could go back, unusual song, great writing John sounds strong young, Such good songs from him, should have had more play, I recall it from MTV when it was a new music channell, keep up the great sounds, God bless!

    j.... c....

    Unusual song? It's simple formulaic pop rock. But it's all good.

  37. V.... R....

    Into the desert I want to vanish and disappear to dance on the sand....and sing away this rage..this counterfeit love has me bound in a cage...

  38. V.... R....

  44. R.... K....

    Does anyone know what the girl's name is in this video? Everyone mentions that she was his girlfriend at the time, but no name.

  46. A.... U....

    [THE LEGEND ] 💖  Cette  artiste` avec du talent en Or !!!!!!! 💖  🎸🎹🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶 T’à une voix juste magnifique JOHN WAITE _Pour moi
    la plus belle version romantique d'amour_a un indémodable_indépassable_Je adore la chanson 👒🌹

  50. S.... A....

    Wow! What a babe! I bet she looks like a bag of smashed frogs now though.

  51. G.... d....

    Love this tune! The video also gives real insight as to how difficult it is being the beautiful  girlfriend of a fairly wealthy rocker. HARD TIMES  BABY!

  52. o.... ....

    this song never fails to take me back ...teenage 80s

    o.... ....

    MTV Vidcheck

  53. J.... F....

    Damn this is good!

  54. L.... D....

    God, what stunningly beautiful girl! John is so lucky, haha.

    L.... D....

    With that kind of money so would just about any guy.

    L.... D....

    @DOMINION not sure what you mean but when record companies were in control no one ever made alot of money except them. Corporate assholes, so greedy

    L.... D....

    You got that right. Man he kissed EVERY inch of her. Mmmm

  55. A.... R....

    Love this video,John Waite 45s were always edited in the end just when the song was getting good.The L.P. version on Mask Of Smiles should have been used instead,I'm sure everyone would have liked it more.I wish they had made a 12inch extended mix of this song like they did some of his previous efforts.

  56. 8.... M....

    A great slice of melodic pop/rock from the man with the golden voice. John McCurry on guitar who later went on to play on Belinda Carlisle's late eighties hits such as Heaven and Earth. It's a cliché but Waite is truly underrated and should have had much greater success. Listening to interviews, it's clear that record company politics and bad luck conspired to mean some great songs remained under the radar without hitting the heights in the charts that they deserved.

  57. M.... T....

    This song was wonderful and very good to hear.
    Great song!

  58. C.... S....

    life of a rockstar

  59. J.... R....

    I wish John would sing this in concert again. He said it was a country song. If it is I'll take this mans country any day of the week! I love this song!

    J.... R....

    I can't hear it as a country song and hope I never do lol.

  60. D.... M....

    B.... T....

    bunny i don,t know these details this is a topic for you girls however you should listen to the majestic masterpiece of lonliness from the figure in a landscape album this should give you an insight of his feelings at that time but hey john waite is at the top of his game in this acoustic tour long may he run

    B.... T....

    Holy shit he was with her?

  74. M.... C....

    this song sucks

    M.... C....

    Doesn't take away from the fact that this song sucks more than your mom on saturday night, which is hard to do by the way

    M.... C....

    As a champion sucker I'm sure you'd know!

    M.... C....

    Mr. Chip Then why are you here???...Wjy don't you go be a bug on someone's else's page???..I wish the uploader would block YOU & your -----comment!!!!
