The Long Way

We've came the long way

And I thought you knew

It was the long way

My darling, I thought you knew

We came the long way

So, don't break my heart, baby, don't try

We've been through the desert

Where no water flow

We've walked streets and highways

Where kung fu is afraid to go

It was the long way

So, don't try; don't try

And I go tell you why, baby

It's 'cause I adore you so much, you know

So, don't try

It's because I, I still need your warm and tender touch

I just can't make it without you, darling

So don't try

Hey, we've been on the mountain

And I thought you knew

We've been through the valley

Where the green herbs grow

But, darling, it was the long way

So don't break my heart, yeah darling

Ah don't try, ah don't try-try

Ah cha-cha, cha, cha, ah cha, cha

An' I'm gonna take you by the river

Gonna take you down by the riverside

An' I'm gon' make you my little bride

An' I'm gon' always tell you nice things
