Lyrics

Sometimes it burns like, like a fire, yeah
Love has a mind of, a mind of its own
Don't let it stop your, your desire, mmm
Baby, don't end up, end up alone
Stop where you are, look to your heart
Don't be afraid, don't throw love away
Don't get burned by your heart
'Cause you're a long, long way from home
You need a man of your own, keepin' you warm
'Cause you're a long, long way from home
You need to hurry back home, let me keep you warm, yeah yeah
Sometimes it feels like life's over, yeah
You know when it feels like everything's wrong
Don't let it take you, take you under
Baby, don't end up, end up alone
Stop where you are, look to your heart
Don't be afraid, don't throw love away
Don't get burned by your heart
'Cause you're a long, long way from home
You need a man of your own, keepin' you warm (Oh yeah)
'Cause you're a long, long way from home (Yeah)
You need to hurry back home, let me keep you warm
(Let me keep you warm, yeah)
I know that at times it doesn't seem fair
Those are times when you don't even care
Broken heart, shattered dreams
Without love, tell me what does it mean
Stop it, baby, right where you are
Don't you let it go, go too far
Stop it, stop it, right where you are
You're a long way from home
'Cause you're a long, long way from home
You need a man of your own, keepin' you warm
(You're gonna need someone to keep you warm)
'Cause you're a long, long way from home
You need to hurry back home, let me keep you warm
(Oh, don't take too long, baby)
Stop where you are, look to your heart
Don't be afraid, don't throw love away
Don't get burned by your heart
'Cause you're a long, long way from home
You need a man of your own, keepin' you warm
'Cause you're a long, long way from home
You need to hurry back home, let me keep you warm
(Get some of this, get some of this, get some of this good, good, good lovin')
'Cause you're a long, long way from home (Yeah, yeah)
You need a man of your own, keepin' you warm
'Cause you're a long, long way from home
You need to hurry back home
