Now, who is not excited about the return of the New Kids on the Block? Come on, now...granted they're not exactly - uh - "new" any more...kinda old, really - but still it's fun to have them back. I remember having a huge poster of Jordan hanging over the desk in my bedroom right across from the bed so I could see his beautiful face each morning. My sister and I had all of their albums on cassette tape, even the Christmas one. We had T-shirts, sweaters, and even an afghan blanket sporting our NKOTB pride. However, our crowning glory of NKOTB fan-dome was that we each had our own NKOTB ken doll...for my sister it was Donnie, and for me Jordan (of course). So as we celebrate their return to pop music, reminisce with me a bit and enjoy one of their former music videos: Step by Step
Gonna get to you girl
Step by step
Step by step, ooh, baby
Gonna get to you girl
Step by step, ooh, baby
Really want you in my world
Step, hey, girl in your eyes
I see a picture of me all the time
Step, and girl when you smile
You got to know that you drive me wild
Step by step, ooh, baby
You're always on my mind
Step by step, ooh, girl
Really think it's just a matter of time
Step by step, ooh, baby
Gonna get to you girl
Step by step, ooh, baby
Really want you in my world
Step, hey, girl can't you see?
I've got to have you all just for me
Step, and girl yes it's true
No one else will ever do
Step by step, ooh, baby
You're always on my mind
Step by step, ooh, girl
Really think it's just a matter of time
Step by step, ooh, baby
Gonna get to you girl
Step by step, ooh, baby
Really want you in my world
Step, step
Step, step by step
Step one, we can have lots of fun
Step two, there's so much we can do
Step three, it's just you and me
Step four, I can give you more
Step five, don't you know that the time has arrived
Huh!
Step by step
Don't you know I need you?
Step by step
Yes, I do, girl
Step by step, ooh, baby
You're always on my mind
Step by step, ooh, girl
Really think it's just a matter of time
Step by step, ooh, baby
Gonna get to you girl
Step by step, ooh, baby
Really want you in my world
Step by step, you girl
Step by step, oh girl
Really want you in my world
Step by step, ooh, baby
Gonna get to you girl

There are just no words, no words at all!
I know, you're stunned by the profound wisdom of their lyrics ;)
Wow, didn't know they were getting back together....
Umm, I wasn't really into them that much growing up but I think that is mainly because I was not really allowed to listen to alot of "secular" music- although oldies were allowed in our household LOL I did get to listen to them at friends houses so I knew who they were and actually have most of their lyrics memorized (it's a sick condition I have of hearing something twice and it's stuck in my brain- lyrics and all)
Oh honey...we need to get you out more.
I can hear my sister screaming and passing out.. this was 'her' band...she even knows/knew the dance...hahaha.
I wasn't into NKOTB like a lot of my friends were, but I did like them. And who doesn't know at least some of the words to at least three or four of their songs? Step by Step, Cover Girl, Hanging Tough, the one with the lyrics, "This one's for the children..." Makes me think of the days when I wore three pairs of socks in different colors, had my hair in a side ponytail, and wore my shirt to the side with one of those cheap plastic holders. Good times.
