The Long Way

'Cause I need you
I don't know what I'd do without my baby
Don't take the long way home
I need you
I don't know what I'd do without you, baby
Don't take the long way home

You have my heart (my heart)
Kept it from the start
There ain't no limit to what I feel for you (for you)
This ain't no he said, she said (for you)
I hear your voice in my head
What can I say? A little goes a long way (long way)

'Cause I need you
I don't know what I'd do without my baby (without my baby)
Don't take the long way home
'Cause I need you
I don't know what I'd do without my baby
Don't take the long way home

Been waiting for a while (a while)
Just to see your smile
You know that I just can't help myself (you know I)
So don't be so shy (so shy)
You know I need you close by
No need to ask why, I see it in your eyes
You're all I need to get by

'Cause I need you
I don't know what I'd do without my baby, no
Don't take the long way home
'Cause I need you
Don't know what I'd do without you, baby (without you, baby)
Don't take the long way home (don't take the long way)

I just wanna know that you're coming home (I need you, I do, I need you)
(Don't take the long way)
I just wanna know that you're coming home ('cause I need you, I do)
(Don't take the long way)
I just wanna know that you're coming home ('cause I need you, I do)
(Way home, don't take the long way)
I just wanna know that you're coming home (don't take long)

Don't take the long way home
Don't take the long way home
Don't take the long way home (don't, no)
Don't take the long way home
Don't take the long way home
Don't take the long way home
Don't take the long (don't, no)

You know that I need you
(I need you, I do) I'd do
(I need you) without my baby
(I do)
