Take The Short Way Home Lyrics

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 

(break) 

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
