Just One Step

Lyrics

[WOMAN 2, spoken] Murray I'm out here, Murray And I am not discussing this anymore (sung) 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... Yeah, 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... (spoken) You think this is maybe a joke? Well, it's no joke, Murray Murray? (sung) It looks like they're forming a crowd Like, eighty-five at the most— Still, front page of the Post— (spoken) Mur, I think it's Maury Povich Oh my god, and Connie, too! Hi Connie! (sung) 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, yes, Murray! Just one step, adiós! One small step, honey, you better hurry! Oh, yes sir, better give up that fur! Take it from me, ol' Murray, here I... (spoken) Ah! Whoops, I almost fell, Murray! The mother of your children Splattered across Fifth Avenue In a bloody heap, Murray And it's all your fault! (sung) Yes, it's you who made the money 'Cause it's you who owns the store So if you don't wanna spend it, that's your right But it's you who bought the penthouse On the fifty-seventh floor So goodnight, cheapskate, goodnight! (spoken) You think I don't know about her? Well, I do, Murray (sung) 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, I'm controlling... Or whatever... Perhaps it's true... Here's the place where I get what I've earned Why keep crying? Why be miserable? Lookit, Murray! Somebody's concerned! Trust in the wind and I'll land on 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! Oh, just one step down from the man who needs you— Fuck the fur! Just send it down to her! So, fare thee well, and Murray, watch me fly! (spoken) Murray? I'm serious, Murray Murray?
