#50 on pop charts and #17 on Alt. in 1981. #1.
       Em
Now it looks to me like the same old place,

              D          Em
In the sky it looks like rain.

    A
The same old town with the same old streets,

                    Em
The address has not changed.

        A
You can find me there with the door shut tight

                 D      Em
And the one wish that remains..
CHORUS:
A               
Baby step back, baby step back.

                       Em
Either step up or step back.
#2.
        Em
No, you know I don't write no bad checks,

               D    Em
I have no wish to repent.

A
I've seen a few, but whatever I do,

                     Em
I don't cause no accidents.

A
Whiskey and wine help me pass the time,

              D     Em
I don't leave no evidence.
CHORUS:(x2) #3.
         Em
Still, I don't kneel down, I was born to fight,

                    D   Em
So you'd best leave me alone.

A                
Maybe I'll get much more than I need,

                           Em
Or much less than I should own.

A
Last of all let me say it again,

               D       Em
either step up or step on.
CHORUS:(x3) An eighties hit from Kraziekhat.
