Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh...

One Step Closer... To You
One Step Closer... To You

Well, it’s a quarter to that time Baby
And you’re the only thing on my mind Baby
And I’m ‘bout to punch outta’ here, girl I promise
And I’m comin’ straight home to you my dear. (Woh-Oh)
So just make sure you’ve got that nothin’ on
And you’re waiting for me Baby (you)
To walk thru the door, and give it to ya’ Baby
Every way possible, just how you like it Babe
And I’m so thankful for my shinin’ star
So glad I don’t have to wonder where your are
Now, I’m about to get on the elevator baby goin’ down
I’m coming home, home, home

One Step Closer... To You
(And it won’t be long, Baby I’m getting)
One Step Closer... To You
(Said I’m On My Way)
(Said I’m On My Way)

I’m, starting the car right now, while
My imagination is going wild right now Babe
I’m thinkin’ bout what I’m gon’ do
When I get to you, Ooh,Ooh-Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Time must be on our side, ‘cause
Baby so far every light is a green light yeah
And soon, I’ll be there, so girl beware
I’m gonna’ kiss you up and down, in between
Having your body screaming yeah (oh, oh)

Oh I’m so thankful for my little shining star
And girl, I’m so glad I don’t have to wonder where you are!
Baby, see you don’t have to worry no more
Cause soon, I’ll be coming thru the door

One Step Closer... (ooh baby, just one step closer)
To You... (to you, Babe, and it won’t be long, baby I’m getting)
One Step Closer... (one step closer baby)
To You (to ya’ girl), (said I’m on my way), (said I’m on my way)

I’m turnin’ the corner, ‘bout to pull up in the driveway
Now, I’m hoppin’ up out the car, and I’m walking to the door
Goin’ up the steps, keys in my hand, unlock the door
Turn the knob, baby now I’m in the house
Up the stairs in the room, DAMN!!!

YOU... BABE
Said you look so good to me laying there, with nothing on
And it makes me wanna’!!!
Kiss every inch of your body
So don’t you go nowhere, just stay right there
I’m gonna’ move a little closer...
Step, step, step, step, step
Ooh I’m at your feet baby
Tell me girl, do you like what I’m doin’
Well, can I Move On Up???
(step, step, step, step, step)
Now... I’m at your knees can see you you’re shakin’
See you can’t take it, girl I’m ‘bout to do it Get Ready-Get Ready

Get Closer...
(steppin’ closer to ya’ baby!!!)
To You...
(said I’m goin’ down, and I’m not comin’ back up baby, baby yeah)
One Step Closer...
(one step-closer-to you-hey) - (one step closer to you...)
To You...
(goin’ down, goin’ down, goin’ down)
(goin’ down, goin’ down, goin’ down)

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
