Take the short way homeYou? 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 nowThere is lightenin' 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 goAnd 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 satisfiedAnd 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 aloneCrazy 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 goneTake 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 satisfiedCrazy 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 goneTake the short way home
Baby, take care of your health
In this world of evil
