A Step Too Far

A Step Too Far is the thirteenth song in Elton John's and Tim Rice's musical Aida

Lyrics
Amneris:It's so strange he doesn't show me

More affection than he needs

Almost formal, too respectful

Never takes romantic leads

There are times when I imagine

I'm not always on his mind

He's not thinking what I'm thinking

Always half a step behind

Always half a step behind

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Radames: I'm in every kind of trouble

Can't you tell? Just look at me

Half-ecstatic, half-dejected

All-in-all, I'm all at sea

Easy terms I thought I wanted

Fill me now with chilling dread

You could never know the chaos

Of a life turned on it's head

Of a life turned on it's head

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Radames & Amneris: Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Aida: I am certain that I love him

But a love can be misplaced

Have I compromised my people

In my passion and my haste?

I could be his life companion

Anywhere but where we are

Am I leader? Am I traitor?

Did I take a step too far?

Did I take a step too far?

Amneris: It's so strange he doesn't show me

More affection than he needs

Almost formal, too respectful

Never takes romantic leads

There are times when I imagine

I'm not always on his mind

He's not thinking what I'm thinking

Always half a step behind

Always half a step behind

Radames: I'm in every kind of trouble

Can't you tell? Just look at me

Half-ecstatic, half-dejected

All-in-all, I'm all at sea

Easy terms I thought I wanted

Fill me now with chilling dread

You could never know the chaos

Of a life turned on it's head

Of a life turned on it's head

Aida:I am certain that I love him

But a love can be misplaced

Have I compromissed my people

In my passion and my haste?

I could be his life companion

Anywhere but where we are

Am I leader? Am I traitor?

Did I take a step too far?

Did I take a step too far?

Aida:Oh, oh, oh, oh

Aida & Radames: Oh, oh, oh, oh

Aida, Radames & Amneris: Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Did I take a step too far?
