taking the long way round lyrics

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.
