Two Step

I fell in love at first sight with a cowboy tonight
He stands 'bout six-foot-three 'n'when he looked down at me
I felt my knees start to quakin' my hands started shakin'
When he strolled up to me, big blue eyes and tight jeans

I nearly died then and there, smiled n�stood next to my chair
My heart was poundin' so loud I felt it drown out the crowd
I tried s'hard not to squeal, I thought "Here's my big chance"
He said, "My name is Neal, and then asked me to daaaance"

    .......and then I heard myself saying to him
      (doo doo doo doo doo... )
        But I cain't 2-step (bitin my lip)
          Oh damn!! I really cain't 2-step

    CHORUS (fade):
    I just gotta learn to 2-step
    I want him to hold my hand
    I gotta learn to 2-step
    'N'learn to shake it up with the band
    If I wanna have a chance for him hold me tight
    If I wanna be the girl that he'll be holding tonight
    I just gotta learn to 2-step
    Oh Lordy, PLEEEEEASE........
    Somebody teach me to 2-step

How was he to know I'd never 2-stepped before
I wore Wrangler jeans, borrowed boots tapped the floor
Jus� knew if I told him why, he'd jus� show me the door
But I confessed my sin. His eyes shot to the back door

Oh no, now here it comes. He�s winked and started to stand
Oh now, I�m, feelin� so dumb. He took my arm in his hand
"Please don't embarrass me" ..."C'mon, we'll sneak out the back
I'll teach you quick, It�s fun, Now, c�mon girl, you'll seeeeee......

    .......Dragged my heels and I whined to him
      (doo doo doo doo doo... )
        But I cain't 2-step (bitin my lip)
          Oh damn!! I really cain't 2-step

    CHORUS (fade):
    I just gotta learn to 2-step
    I want him to hold my hand
    I gotta learn to 2-step
    'N'learn to shake it up with the band
    If I wanna have a chance for him hold me tight
    If I wanna be the girl that he'll be holding tonight
    I just gotta learn to 2-step
    Oh Lordy, PLEEEEEASE........
    Somebody teach me to 2-step

He kinda snickered at me. Didn�t turn'n walk away
He taught me patiently n�said, "C'mon girl let's play"
I stopped my frettin,� didn�t pout. He said, Have fun, grab your hat!
�Cuz that's what country's �bout Let it loose, little wild cat

That good ol' country boy taught me more than he'd planned
He taught my heart to let go. He held my heart in his hand.
Now I can boot scoot, n'tush push and electric slide
and I can 2-step with any boy �steps up to my side

    ......No more whining and saying to him....
      (doo doo doo doo doo... )
        But I cain't 2-step (bitin my lip)
          Oh damn!! I really cain't 2-step

    CHORUS (fade):
    I just gotta learn to 2-step
    I want him to hold my hand
    I gotta learn to 2-step
    'N'learn to shake it up with the band
    If I wanna have a chance for him hold me tight
    If I wanna be the girl that he'll be holding tonight
    I just gotta learn to 2-step
    Oh Lordy, PLEEEEEASE........
    Somebody teach me to 2-step
