I called you on the phone today
Just to ask you how you were
All I did was speak normally
Somehow I still struck a nerve
I called you on the phone today
Just to ask you how you were
All I did was speak normally
Somehow I still struck a nerve
You got me fucked up in the head, boy
Never doubted myself so much
Like am I pretty? Am I fun, boy?
I hate that I gave you power over that kind of stuff
[Chorus]
Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
It's always one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me? Boy, I don't understand
No, I don't understand
[Verse 2]
And maybe in some masochistic way
I kind of find it all exciting
Like which lover will I get today?
Will you walk me to the door or send me home cryin'?
[Chorus]
It's one step forward and three steps back
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
It's always one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me? Boy, I don't understand
[Bridge]
No, it's back and forth, did I say somethin' wrong?
It's back and forth, goin' over everything I said
It's back and forth, did I do somethin' wrong?
It's back and forth, maybe, this is all your fault
[Chorus]
Instead it's one step forward and three steps back
And I'd leave you, but the roller coaster's all I've ever had
Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me? Boy, I don't understand
No, I don't understand
Te llamé por teléfono hoy
Solo para preguntarte cómo estás
Todo lo que hice fue hablar normalmente
Y de alguna manera todavía toqué un nervio
Me tienes jodida de la cabeza, chico
Nunca dudé tanto de mí misma
¿Soy bonita? ¿Soy divertida, chico?
Odio haberte dado poder sobre ese tipo de cosas
[Coro]
Porque siempre es un paso adelante y tres pasos atrás
Soy el amor de tu vida hasta que te vuelvo loco
Siempre es un paso adelante y tres pasos atrás
¿Me amas, me quieres, me odias? Chico, no entiendo
No, no entiendo
[Verso 2]
Y tal vez de alguna manera masoquista
Lo encuentro un poco emocionante
¿Qué amante tendré hoy?
¿Me acompañarás a la puerta o me enviarás a casa llorando?
[Coro]
Es un paso adelante y tres pasos atrás
Soy el amor de tu vida hasta que te vuelvo loco
Siempre es un paso adelante y tres pasos atrás
¿Me amas, me quieres, me odias? Chico, no entiendo
[Puente]
No, es de ida y vuelta, ¿dije algo mal?
Es de ida y vuelta, repasando todo lo que dije
Es de ida y vuelta, ¿hice algo mal?
Es de ida y vuelta, tal vez, todo esto es culpa tuya
[Coro]
En cambio, es un paso adelante y tres pasos atrás
Y te dejaría, pero la montaña rusa es todo lo que he tenido
Sí, es un paso adelante y tres pasos atrás
¿Me amas, me quieres, me odias? Chico, no entiendo
No, no entiendo
