I tried to give up on love

'Cause I knew I should

No matter how hard I tried

It didn't do me no good



I just stopped cold turkey

What else could I do

There were pieces of my heart all over town

And I was runnin' out of blue



I was feelin' okay

When I got out of bed

But what I saw outside my window

Was like a kick in the head



My hands started shakin'

I felt the cold chills begin

When I saw that truck pull up

Now look who's movin' in



He lives twelve steps down

In the apartment below

He's got what it takes to tempt a woman

Body and soul

And if I fall I ain't got far to go

Slidin' around

I'm losin' ground

He lives twelve steps down



I tried to get a better look

So I sneaked downstairs

And just three steps from the bottom

I saw him standing there



Ain't it just my luck

He says he wants to be my friend

He set two glasses on the table

Now he's invitin' me in



And he lives twelve steps down

In the apartment below

He's got what it takes to tempt a woman

Body and soul

And if I fall I ain't got far to go

Slidin' around

I'm losin' ground

He lives twelve steps down



He lives twelve steps down

In the apartment below

He's got what it takes to tempt a woman

Body and soul

And if I fall I ain't got far to go

Slidin' around

I'm losin' ground

He lives twelve steps down



Slidin' around

I'm losin' ground

He lives twelve steps down

Twelve steps down
