Take the short way home (intro)



You've been makin' up your mind

And I can save you from the trouble

that your heart is goin' through

And I can tell you what your

future's gonna be

Maybe we can open up your eyes

Baby , you can't leave me now



There is lightning in the city

Stranger than you ever saw

Get back to your special lover

And I won't ever turn on you or tell you

You should tell me where you go



Just take the short way home

Baby, take care of yourself

In this world of evil

I can keep you to myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe her by my side

In this world of evil

I can keep you satisfied



And you can make it easy on yourself

Some other love may call my name when you're away

And I'll be gone

There's no other who could ever love you more

Keep talkin' to myself when I'm alone

I don't want to be alone



Crazy people in the shadows

Love is only what you find

Come back here and you'll discover

There ain't nothing you been searchin' for

I could not give you now if you were mine



Just take the short way home

Baby take care of yourself

In this world of evil

I can keep you to myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe her by my side

In this world of evil

I can keep you satisfied

Crazy people in the shadows

Love is only what you find

Come back here and you'll discover

There ain't nothing you been searchin' for

I could not give you now if you were mine



Must take the short way home

Baby take care of yourself

In this world of evil

I can keep you for myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe her by my side

In this world of evil

I can keep you satisfied



Take the short way home

Baby take care of yourself

In this world of evil

I can keep you for myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe her by my side

In this world of evil

I can keep you satisfied
