Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lady
You're comin' cross the water
Well, don't you think you oughta
Be waiting a while?
[Verse 2]
Are you acting
On what your heart has told you?
Is nothing gonna hold you
From flying away? Ah ha
Flying away, ah ha
Flying away
[Verse 3]
'Cause there's nowhere to go
Though the road is outstretching before you
And the farther you go
I said ain't nothin' gonna get you to Heaven
I said ain't nothin' gonna get you to Heaven
[Verse 4]
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's somethin' between us
And you like what you feel
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
Well, I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad?
Oh, no
[Verse 5]
Ooh, la-la-la-la
Ooh, la-la-la-la
Ooh, la-la-la-la
Ooh, la-la-la-la
Ah
Ah
Ah
[Verse 6]
Mister
You better get a move on
You better get a fix on
You better walk straight
[Verse 7]
I said, lady
Oh, take me if you want me
Oh, just take me as you find me
Oh, I'm needing your love so bad
I'm needing your love so bad
I'm needing your love
[Verse 8]
And there's nowhere to go
Though the road is outstretching before you
And the farther you go
I said ain't nothin' gonna get you to Heaven
I said ain't nothin' gonna get you to Heaven
[Verse 9]
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's somethin' between us
And you like what you feel
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
Well, I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad?
[Verse 10]
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit
Oh, just a little bit
[Verse 11]
Ooh, la-la-la-la
Ooh, la-la-la-la
Ooh, la-la-la-la
Ooh, la-la-la-la
Ah
Ah
Ah, oh
[Verse 12]
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
[Verse 13]
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
[Verse 14]
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
You're takin' the long way
