Don't think I'll be hanging around
While you're having fun
I won't sit here crying over you
From now on when you step out
I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll lock the door, put out the cat
An' I'll go stepping too

Yes, I'll go stepping too, my honey
I'll go stepping too
I'll lock the door, put out the cat
An' I'll go stepping too

Now every time you come in late
We begin to fight
You tell me there are more fish in the sea
But the bait ain't what it used to be
And I've got news for you
Now after this when you step out
Then I'll go stepping too

* Refrain

From now on when you come in
An' you won't tell where you been
With your hair mussed up
An' your clothers don't fit you right
Don't start to yell if you find
I look the same way too
Then you will know that I have been
Stepping just like you

* Refrain
