Take the short way home Youve 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 futures gonna be
Maybe we can open up your eyes
Baby, you cant leave me now There is lightenin' in the city
Stranger than you ever saw
Get back to your special lover
And I wont 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 cant keep you to myself Take the short way home
Youll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I cant keep you satisfied And you can make it easy on yourself
Some other love will call my name when youre away and Ill be gone
And theres no other who could love you more
I keep talkin to myself when Im alone
I dont wanna be alone Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and youll discover
There aint nothin youve 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 cant keep you to myself Take the short way home
Youll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I cant keep you satisfied Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and youll discover
There aint nothin youve 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 cant keep you to myself Take the short way home
Youll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I cant keep you satisfied Take the short way home
Baby, take care of your health
In this world of evil
I cant keep you to myself Take the short way home
Youll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I cant keep you satisfied Take the short way home
Baby, take care of your health
In this world of evil
I cant keep you to myself
