Clifford T. Ward - Taking The Long Way Round Lyrics

Takin' the long way round

I know it's a big mistake

I can't help myself I'm in love with you

And that's the truth.



I've been looking for inspiration

To inspirate my mind

Won't you give me an invitation and you'll find

That I'll be true.



You know how it is when you want somebody

Who don't especially want you

You tried so hard to make her see it an'

That's especially true.



Here's what we're gonna do

Toss a coin up

Heads I win, tails you lose

Come on make your mind up.



There's something I wanna know

If you try to keep on stallin'

Can I catch ya before you let me down?

Ah say I can.



INSTRUMENTAL



You know how it is when you need somebody

Who don't especially need you

You try so hard to make her see it an'

That's especially true.



Here's what we're gonna do

Toss a coin up

Heads I win, tails you lose

Come on make your mind up.



Something I wanna know

If you try to keep on stallin'

Can I catch ya before you let me down?

Ah say I can.
