This here's a story about the househusband, you know,
Who just has to get out of the house, he's been looking
After, you know, the kids from day to day, he's been
Washing the dishes, screwing around and watching
Sesame Street and he's going crazy!

Woke up this morning blues around my head
No need to ask the reason why
Went to my kitchen and lit a cigarette
Blew my worries to the sky

[Chorus:]
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 pleasin' everyone
So screw it

[Chorus]

Baby's sleeping the cats have all been blessed
Ain't nothing doing on TV (summer reruns)
Put on my space suit I got to look my best
I'm going out to do the city

[Chorus: x2]

Gotta gotta gotta get out
I'm just stepping out babe
Just for a while
Ain't been out for days
Gotta do it tonight
Gimme a break, gimme a break
I gotta get out
I'll be in before one (or two
