1 step forward, 3 steps back

1 step forward, 3 steps back - Olivia Rodrigo

Lyrics by：Olivia Rodrigo/Taylor Swift/Jack Antonoff

Composed by：Olivia Rodrigo/Taylor Swift/Jack Antonoff

I 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 gave you power over that kind of stuff

'Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back

I'm the love of your life until I make you mad

It's always 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

And maybe in some masochistic way

I kind of find it all exciting

Like which lover will I get today

Will you walk me to the door or send me home cryin'

It's one step forward and three steps back

I'm the love of your life until I make you mad

It's always one step forward and three steps back

Do you love me want me hate me

Boy I don't understand

No it's back and forth did I say somethin' wrong

It's back and forth goin' over everything I said

It's back and forth did I do somethin' wrong

It's back and forth maybe this is all your fault

Instead it's one step forward and three steps back

And I'd leave you but the roller coaster's 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
