Lyrics

[Intro]

Turn back while there's time

Can't you see the danger sign?

Soft shoulder (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

Surround you

Smooth road (Smooth road)

Clear night (Clear night)

Oh, lucky me that suddenly

I saw the light

I'm turning back away from all that trouble

Smooth road (Smooth road)

Smooth road (Smooth road)

No detour ahead

(Thank you very much)

[Verse 1]

Smooth road, clear day

But why am I the only one

Trav'ling this way? (Danger signs)

I thought the road to love should be so easy

Can there be a detour ahead? (Turn back)

[Chorus]

Smooth road, clear night

Oh, lucky me that suddenly

I saw the light

I thought the road to love should be so easy (Turn back)

Can there be a detour ahead?

[Verse 2]

The farther you travel

The harder to unravel the web she spins around you

Stop while there's time

Soft shoulder surround you

[Chorus]

Smooth road, clear night

Oh, lucky me that suddenly

I see the light

I'm turning back away from all (Oh, lucky me that suddenly)

And I had trouble

Smooth road, smooth road

Smooth road, smooth road

Smooth road, smooth road

Clear night

[Outro]

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

Thank you very much
