Half a step down

Intro

| | | x 4

Feelin young and full of fun

Hangin out with my crew

Hot to trot and about to pop

 Tryin to find some girl to get into

There she was fine as can be

 Hair braided down to her knees

She took me home, she turned me out

 But before sunrise she said I must leave

 It was a cold chill on a summer night

Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right

 It was a cold chill on a summer day

Never thought the girl would dog me out that way

 It was a cold chill on a summer morn

Never cried like a baby since the day I was born

 It was a cold chill on a summer eve

Never had no chopper bring me to my knees

 I was feeling so trusting

 Gave it all right down to the bone

 But she did me wrong

 On a summer night

Far from meek, and feelin chic

Refusing to concede defeat

There I was same crew, same time

Same club we kicked it at the previous week

I asked her how could she have the nerve

To treat me with such disgrace

She blinked her eyes, smiled, apologized

Threw her drink right in my face

Chorus

I was feeling so trusting

Gave it all right down to the bone

But she did me wrong

 On a summer night, on a summer night

 On a summer night, on a summer night

A cold chill, a cold chill, a cold chill, cold chill

Solo

Verse

Weekends came and weekends passed

But not the yearning in my heart

And there she was to light the spark

Like she did right from the very start

I took no time, drove to her house

Got deep into a passion high

I heard a knock, the turn of a key

And the voice of another guy

Chorus

I was feeling so trusting

Gave it all right down to the bone

But she did me wrong

On a summer night, on a summer night

On a summer night, on a summer night

It was a cold chill

Like standing in the deep freeze

A cold chill

Like when snow's above your knees

Cold chill

Like sitting at the north pole

A cold chill

Wearing not one stitch of clothes

Cold chill

Like a winter Chicago night

A cold chill

Twenty ice cubes down your back for spite

Cold chill

Stranded in sub-zero degrees

A cold chill

Layed out on the arctic sea

Cold chill

When your fingers get frost bite

A cold chill

Buried beneath ten feet of ice

Cold chill

Baby, that ain't so nice

A cold chill
