John Lennon - I'm Stepping Out

John Lennon - I'm Stepping Out

"I'm Stepping Out" is the last single from the final John Lennon and Yoko Ono album Milk and Honey. In it, Lennon celebrates his enthusiasm for the night life of New York City, and makes tongue in cheek reference to his "househusband" period. It reached number 88 in the UK Singles chart, and in the US at number 55 in the US Billboard Hot 100[1] and number 57 on the Cashbox Top 100.[2] The B-side features Yoko's "Sleepless Night."

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 pleasin' 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
Gotta gotta gotta gotta get out
I'm stepping out babe
Just awhile
Ain't been out for days...
