Lyrics

Steppin' Out

[Verse 1]

Pack up all your things

We're gonna be leavin'

Sooner than I thought

Take the things you bought

Clouds are gathering

Say goodbye to all your friends

We're gonna be sorry

For a while, that's how it goes

But then again, who knows

About the rain?

[Chorus]

I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on

I'm gonna see the world

Like a rolling stone

I'm steppin' out

I'm gonna be somebody

Ooh, I'm steppin' out

[Verse 2]

Did you hear what he said?

He said they sold me down the river

They thought I thought I was a fool

They said the rain would fall

What did they know?

Then I saw your face

Heard the song that you were singin'

Though I thought I knew the words

The tune was quite absurd

And out of key

Doo-dah-dah-dee

[Chorus]

I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on

I'm gonna see the world

Like a rolling stone

I'm steppin' out

I'm gonna be somebody

Ooh, I'm steppin' out

[Interlude]

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out

Steppin' out

Steppin' out

Steppin' out

[Outro]

Don't know where I'm going

Gonna see the world

Gonna be somebody...

Don't know where I'm going

I'm just steppin' out

I'm steppin' out

I'm steppin' out
