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 --- Take the Short Way Home - Dionne Warwick
