Taking the Long Way Round

Taking the Long Way Round - Clifford T. Ward

Takin' the long way round

I know it's a big mistake

I can't help myself

I'm in love with you

And that's the truth.

I've been looking for inspiration

To inspirate my mind

Won't you give me an

Invitation and you'll find

That I'll be true.

You know how it is when

You want somebody

Who don't especially want you

You tried so hard to make her see it an'

That's especially true.

Here's what we're gonna do

Toss a coin up

Heads I win, tails you lose

Come on make your mind up.

There's something I wanna know

If you try to keep on stallin'

Can I catch ya before you let me down?

Ah say I can.

You know how it is when

Come on make your mind up.

Something I wanna know
