Take the Short Way Home

And I can save you from the trouble that your heart is goin’ through
Take the short way home
I can’t keep you satisfied
Love is only what you find
You’ll be safe here by my side
Some other love will call my name when you’re away and I’ll be gone
I can’t keep you satisfied
Baby, take care of your health
I could not give you now if you are gone
Take the short way home
Or tell you you should tell me where you go
Take the short way home

And there’s no other who could love you more
In this world of evil

Baby, take care of your health
Come back here and you’ll discover
You’ve been makin’ up your mind
I can’t keep you to myself
I keep talkin’ to myself when I’m alone
Take the short way home
In this world of evil
Crazy people in the shadows

In this world of evil
In this world of evil
Take the short way home
And I can tell you what your future’s gonna be

There ain’t nothin’ you’ve been searchin’ for
Love is only what you find
Baby, you can’t leave me now
Take the short way home
In this world of evil

Baby, take care of your health
Stranger than you ever saw
Baby, take care of your health
Take the short way home
There ain’t nothin’ you’ve been searchin’ for
You’ll be safe here by my side
I can’t keep you to myself

In this world of evil

You’ll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
And I won’t ever turn on you
I can’t keep you satisfied

Maybe we can open up your eyes
I could not give you now if you are gone
Take the short way home
You’ll be safe here by my side

And you can make it easy on yourself
Get back to your special lover
I can’t keep you to myself
In this world of evil
And take the short way home

Crazy people in the shadows
I can’t keep you satisfied
I can’t keep you to myself
Baby, take care of your health

There is lightenin' in the city
I don’t wanna be alone
Come back here and you’ll discover
In this world of evil
