Let's Take the Long Way Home

So tired of this heavy load

I've been carryin' it for so long

I don't know what it wants with me

Lord, please let me be

Rollin' dice on my hotel room bed

"Man, it feels so nice to love someone," she said

"'Cause when the evening comes, I'm scared to be all by myself"

And I know exactly how it feels to be by myself

And now she's singin'

"Happiness always scared me half to death

Never had myself no lovin' to caress"

Little darling, stop those tears and dry your eyes

I'ma be right here

And I'd really love to stay the night, if you'd have me here

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Little girl, you know I love you so

Let's take it easy now and simmer down

Little girl, let's take the long way home

Little girl, let's take the long way home

Yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Little girl, you know I love you so

Let's take it easy now and simmer down

Little girl, let's take the long way home

Little girl, let's take the long way home

Little girl, let's take the long way home

Little girl, let's take the long way home
