Take the Short Way Home

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 lightnin' 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

And take the short way home

Baby, take care of your health

In this world of evil

I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe here by my side

In this world of evil

I can't keep you satisfied

And you can make it easy on yourself

Some other love will call my name when you're away and I'll be gone

And there's no other who could love you more

I keep talkin' to myself when I'm alone

I don't wanna be alone

Crazy people in the shadows

Love is only what you find

Come back here and you'll discover

There ain't nothin' you've been searchin' for

I could not give you now if you are gone

Take the short way home

Baby, take care of your health

In this world of evil

I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe here by my side

In this world of evil

I can't keep you satisfied

Crazy people in the shadows

Love is only what you find

Come back here and you'll discover

There ain't nothin' you've been searchin' for

I could not give you now if you are gone

Take the short way home

Baby, take care of your health

In this world of evil

I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe here by my side

In this world of evil

I can't keep you satisfied

Take the short way home

Baby, take care of your health

In this world of evil

I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe here by my side

In this world of evil

I can't keep you satisfied

Take the short way home

Baby, take care of your health

In this world of evil

I can't keep you to myself
