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
