Below, you will find the lyrics for 1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back by Olivia Rodrigo.
Verse 1
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 messed up in the head, boy
Never doubted myself so much
Like, am I pretty? Am I fun, boy?
I hate that I give you power over
Chorus 1
'Cause it's always one step forward
Chorus 1
I'm the love of your life
Chorus 1
It's always one step forward
Chorus 1
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 kinda find it all exciting
Like, which lover will I get today?
Will you walk me to the door
Chorus 2
It's one step forward
Chorus 2
I'm the love of your life
Chorus 2
It's always one step forward
Chorus 2
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don't understand
Bridge
No, it's back and forth
Did I say something wrong?
Bridge
It's back and forth
Going over everything I said
Bridge
It's back and forth
Did I do something wrong?
Bridge
It's back and forth
Maybe this is all your fault
Chorus 3
Instead it's one step forward
And three steps back
And I'd leave you, but the roller coaster
Is 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
