Searching for a relatively old slow song

Hello,

I've been searching everywhere for a song from several years back (I think) that showed up as a slow song in a dance recently.

Unfortunately the most I remember from this song is that a male is singing in it and it counts up from one. So, the chorus (or what I think is the chorus) goes something like
one, <insert phrase here>
two, <insert phrase here>
three, etc. etc.

I know, it's not much to go on, but it's all I have. The problem is I don't usually go song hunting (so I don't remember much about songs) but this song has always stayed in the back of my mind and it's getting pretty infuriating.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How long ago do you mean by several years?

There is an old Eddie Cochran song called Three Steps to Heaven covered by a lot of singers......here's one version.

YouTube - Showaddywaddy - Three steps to heaven

Here's the stupid part - I'm not very sure how long ago it was made. I remember listening to it before 2004 though, which is why I say relatively old (by the standards of today's media).

Unfortunately "Three Steps to Heaven" isn't the song - the song counts much higher - up to at least eight, if not twelve, I believe. Random numbers, I know.

Cool song though, thanks :]

My first thought was Brian Mcknight - "back at one" but that only goes to 5. I remember R. Kelly had a song on his first album (early nineties) called "12 play," but I don't remember how the song goes... not much to go on

The R.Kelly one? Here are those 12 steps

Whoops, edit for the sake of very young forum users, and I only give the page link for lyrics, it seems, they are too "strong" to paste them here :R Kelly 12 Inch Play lyrics

Thanks for the lyrics lollipop, I hope that's the right song. It looks like it might fit

DAMN, I just actually read the lyrics. Would they play this at a dance?? Was this a school dance? Sheesh, imagine if the song was called 18 play, or 20 play?? LOL

Yes! I was looking for "Back at one" by Brian McKnight. Thank you so much, SOULstice! Clearly my memory's failing me if I remember it counting up to 12...

And it would be distinctly amusing if any school dance played 12 Play

You're very welcome! And I would add that I would NOT want to be a chaperone at THAT high school dance!
