Long Way 'Round

Hmm-mmm

Ooh

Ooh-aah

Ooh, ooh-mmm

Oh, I went down the other day

To see what the gypsy had to say

She offered me a piece of advice

She said, "Ooh, child, whatchu gonna do

You've been lookin' mighty blue, so

I'ma tell you a secret about life"

Yeah, yeah

It's two steps up

And one step back

It's forward progress

You won't collapse

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through

Ooh-ooh, sometimes it's the long way 'round

You gotta get lost to get found

She said, "Ooh, child, you know you stand

On the shoulders of every woman

Who would not go down without a fight

Mmm-ahm, oh, in times like these, life is a mystery

Just keep walkin' with the light"

So keep those flowers in your hair

And the stars in your eyes

We all fall down

But then we rise

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through

Ooh-ooh, sometimes it's the long way 'round

You gotta get lost to get found

Problems might appear

Closer in the rearview mirror

You gotta let 'em go

Let 'em go

If there's any spirits out there

Listening on the wind

Oh, I think I hear something

You're gonna love to live again, ooh

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through

Ooh-ooh, sometimes it's the long way 'round

You gotta get lost to get found

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through

Ooh-ooh, sis, you're gonna pull through

Ooh-ooh, sometimes it's the long way 'round

Ooh, you gotta get lost to be found

Ooh-ooh, oh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, oh, oh

Ooh-ooh, sometimes it's the long way 'round

You gotta get lost to get found
