Lady, you come across the water
Well don't you think you oughta be waiting a while?
Are you acting on what your heart has told you?
Is nothing gonna' hold you, from flying away, flying away, flying away?'Cause there's nowhere to go
Though the road is out stretching before you and the farther you go
I said, "Ain't nothing gonna get you to Heaven"
I said, "Ain't nothing gonna get you to Heaven"And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us
And you like what you feel
Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, oh noLa la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la laMister, you better get a move on, you better get a fix on
You better walk straight
I said, "Lady, oh just take me if you want me
Oh take me as you find me, oh I'm needing your love so bad
I'm needing your love so bad, I'm needing your love"And there's nowhere to go
Though the road is out stretching before you and the farther you go
I said, "Ain't nothing gonna get you to Heaven"
I said, "Ain't nothing gonna get you to Heaven"And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us
And you like what you feel
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, sad, sad, sadLa la la la
La la la la
La la la la

Takin' the long ways and turning no back
Takin' the long ways and turning no back
Takin' the long way
