Toni Braxton Long Way Home Lyrics

Lately, I've been missin'
The little look in your eyes
That lets me know that everything will be okay
Tell me what has changed
I find it hard to hold on
To the butterflies that used to be inside
You don't hafta say a word
It's written all over your face, so before...

[Hook]
So before the night is through
I want some time with you
Here's what we're gonna do...

[Chorus]
Let's take the long way home
So we can be alone
And talk about what's goin' on
Pull on over to the side
All we have is time
So tell me what's on your mind
Let's take the long way home
I can see that something's wrong
Boy, you gotta let me know
While there's no one else around
We can work it out, yeah
Let's take the long way home

I know it's messed up but I'm hopin'
That we can get it together
It might be hard to see
When we're havin' doubts
Tryin' to work it out
And though it seems easier to pull away
You see, I want you to know that I will stay right here
'Cause we deserve another try
So let's just enjoy the ride

[Hook]
So before the night is through I want some time with you
Here's what we're gonna do...

[Chorus]
Let's take the long way home
So we can be alone
And talk about what's goin' on
Pull on over to the side
All we have is time
So tell me what's on your mind
Let's take the long way home
I can see that something's wrong
Boy, you gotta let me know
While there's no one else around
We can work it out, yeah
Let's take the long way home

[Bridge]
Take a left right here on Heartbreak Avenue
(it's where I first met you, boy)
You said you wanna take a spin
That's how it all began
So, we can get it back to lovin' again

[Chorus] 2X
Let's take the long way home
So we can be alone
And talk about what's goin' on
Pull on over to the side
All we have is time
So tell me what's on your mind
Let's take the long way home
I can see that something's wrong
Boy, you gotta let me know
While there's no one else around
We can work it out, yeah
Let's take the long way home

I'm not gonna leave you 'lone
I'm not gonna leave you 'lone
The long way home...
