Take the short way home
You I've been making up your mind
And I can save you from the trouble that your heart is going through
And I can tell you what your futures gonna be
Maybe we can open up your eyes
Baby, you can't leave me now
There is lightening 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 talking 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 nothing you've been searching 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 nothing you've been searching 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
