Taking the Long Way Round - Clifford T. Ward

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

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
