I'm Stepping Out Lyrics

Woke up this morning blues around my head
No need to ask the reason why
Went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette
Blew my worries to the sky
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
If it don't feel right you don't have to do it
Just leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it
After all is said and done you can't go pleasing everyone
So screw it...
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out baby
I'm stepping out
Baby's sleeping the cats have all been blessed
Ain't nothing doing on TV (summer repeats)
Put on my space suit I got to look my best
I'm going out to do the city
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out babe
I'm stepping out (boogie)
I'm stepping out (hold it down)
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
Got to, got to, got to, got to, get out
I'm stepping out babe
Just awhile
Ain't been out for days...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think that this song shows how we just want to get away from our problems every once in a while.

John Lennon took a break from music for a couple of years.In 1980 (i think)he started recording his first album since the break. He speaks about how he has become a house husband and that it is driving him crazy being stuck in. 'Stepping out' is his way of saying he's coming back to the music scene unfortunately we all know what happened next... :-(
