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, a-ha

Flying away a-ha, 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, but

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-no...

Oh-la-la-la-la... [x4] arrgh [x3]

Mister, you better get a move on

You better get a fix on,

Mmm-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. [x3]

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, sad.

(Takin' the long way, and no turning back)
