Baby was a natural blonde
But she used to hang around with the meanest scum
If I had known
I never would have gone with that
natural blond

Baby was a brunette
There was a lotta truth in the things she said
But the things she did 
made me quit
Baby was a brunette

I'll take one step at a time 
To make that pretty lady mine
I learned from the past
Not to move too fast
I'll take one step at a time

Baby's hair was dark
She was covered with all kind of scars
But what I used to love
Soon put me off
Baby's hair was dark

Baby was a red-head
We used to watch the sun go down in her kingsize bed
But the walls kept creepin' in 
I was on the streets again
Baby was a red-head

I'll take one step at a time 
To make that pretty lady mine
I learned from the past
Not to move too fast
I'll take one step at a time

Don't get me wrong,lady
I do like your hair
But to judge it by the colour
It wouldn't get me anywhere

Baby's long hair was blue
And I loved her through and through
But I gave her the sack
She didn't love me back
Baby's hair was blue

I'll take one step at a time 
To make that pretty lady mine
I learned from the past
Not to move too fast
I'll take one step at a time
