Watch Your Step (Live)Anita Baker

Songwriter: Anita Baker

Producer: Michael J. Powell

[Verse 1]
I know the kind of pain you offer, baby
Darlin', I've felt your kind of pain before, yes I have
Change your mind
Like revolving doors, yes you do
Change your women
Like you change your clothes

[Chorus]
I just keep on telling you that
You better watch your step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
Baby listen, you better watch your step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day

[Verse 2]
Baby, I won't just forget this, baby
Don't know why you do the stuff you do, baby
Break my heart and disregard my feelings
Breaking hearts is some kind of game to you

[Chorus]
I just keep on telling you that
You better watch your step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
Baby listen, you better watch your step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
Listen

[Bridge]
It's so easy to tease me
It's so easy to let me down, oh baby
It's so easy to mislead me, baby
It's so easy to leave me hanging around, ah
Nowhere to come down

[Saxophone solo]

[Verse 3]
Maybe we should just forget this
Oh, my baby, just throw me out of your mind
I won't stay
Not while you mistreat me
I won't stay
It's just, it's just a waste of my time
A waste of my time

[Chorus]
You better watch your step (Baby)
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
(You better stop it, baby)
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
(Just treat me good, I love it, baby)
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day

[Bridge]
Leave, ha, hey, leave
Just leave, hey hey, leave
Just leave, hey, leave
Why don't you go, hey hey, go
Leave me alone, oh baby
Leave me alone, oh my
Oh my baby, oh
Oh ha ha, hey hey baby, ah ah
Ah ah ah, oh oh oh
Can't stand it when you do that, makes me crazy
When you do that, huh, makes me crazy
Makes me feel that, oh, what I feel
You don't know, oh oh oh, how I feel when you do that
What I feel, hey hey baby, woo

[Chorus]
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
You better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day

Anita Baker

Anita Baker is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter known for her distinct low contralto vocals. She started out in the band Chapter 8, which had the hit song “I Just Wanna Be Your Girl” that was later sampled by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for their hit song “1st of tha Month.” “Anita” went on to become a big name in ‘80s R&B alongside “Luther” and “Whitney” as she began to rack up #1 hits.

Her debut album, The Songstress, was released in 1983 on independent label Beverly Glen and featured the hit song “Angel.” She left Beverly Glen and signed with Elektra Records, releasing her second album Rapture in 1986, which went on to sell over 5 million albums and peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart thanks to the hits “Sweet Love,” “Same Ole Love,” and “Caught Up in the Rapture.”

Her third album, Giving You the Best That I Got, was released in 1988 and hit #1 on the Billboard 200, and the title track hit #1 on both the Billboard R&B and Adult Contemporary Singles charts. Rapture and Giving You the Best That I Got accounted for five of her eight Grammy Awards, with her sixth in that time frame coming from her gospel collaboration with The Winans on the song “Ain’t No Need To Worry” in 1988.
