Taking The Long Way Round Lyrics - 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. 

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.
