Jason Robert Brown - Just One Step lyrics

rate me

Murray,

I am out here Murray

And I am not discussing this anymore

You don't want to buy me the fur?

Well, that's just fine Murray

It's not like I'm asking for much

Since you won't buy me the dog

Or the beach house in Quogue

As if you didn't have the money

What else is new?

I'm not gonna fight for a coat

So never mind, Murray

If that's what's important to you

At least I know where I stand

So, Murray, strike up the band

Because the time has come for action

Here's what I'll do

Clearly, I'm not wanted anymore

Now I'm not so young and beautiful

That's okay, I've faced defeat before

I'm not gonna kvetch

And I'm not gonna cry

It's not gonna get me what I wanted

So I'm simply gonna take one step

One tiny step

And Murray

Just one step, I'll be free

One small step

Just so you shouldn't worry

I'll be free

And you'll be rid of me

Isn't that easy, Murray?

Watch me

You think this is maybe a joke

Well, it's no joke, Murray

Murray

It looks like they're forming a crowd

Like eighty-five at the most

Still, front page of the Post

Ma, I think it's Maury Povich

And Connie too

Oh, hi Connie!

Now you'll finally make your mother proud

Since she never liked me anyway

Look, she's throwing diamonds to the crowd!

Just say the word and I'll come back inside

But until then I'll be happy just to know

That I can always go and take

One step

One tiny step, and Murray

One small step, adios

Just one step,

Honey you'd better hurry

Oh, yes sir,

Better give up that fur

Take it from, Old Murray

Here I...

Whoops, almost fell Murray

The mother of your children

Splattered across Fifth Avenue

In a bloody heap, Murray

And it's all your fault

Yes, it's you who made the money

‘Cause it's you who owns the store

So if you don't want to spend it

That's your right

But it's you who bought the penthouse

On the fifty- seventh floor

So goodnight, cheapskate, goodnight

You think I don't know about her?

Well, I do, Murray

You think I don't know about that

Or the things that you say

To your friends every day

I'm embarrassing

I'm fat

I'm demanding

And controlling

And whatever

Perhaps it's true

Here's the place where I get what I've earned

Why keep prying?

Why be miserable?

Lookit, Murray

Somebody's concerned

Trust in the wind

And I'll land in the crowd

No more complaining

I'm trashy and loud

What a sensational fucking experience

Finally, Murray, I'm getting attention

And just one step

Look at where one step leads you

One small step takes you high

Hey, just one step

Down from the man who needs you

Fuck the fur

Just send it down to her

Oh, fair thee well

And Murray, watch me fly

Murray,

Oh, I'm serious Murray

Murray!
