The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You've been makin' up your mind

And I can save you from the trouble

that your heart is goin' through

And I can tell you what your

future's gonna be

Maybe we can open up your eyes

Baby, you can't leave me now

There is lightning in the city

Stranger than you ever saw

Get back to your special lover

And I won't ever turn on you or tell you

You should tell me where you go

Just take the short way home

Baby, take care of yourself

In this world of evil

I can keep you to myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe her by my side

In this world of evil

I can keep you satisfied

And you can make it easy on yourself

Some other love may call my name when you're away

And I'll be gone

There's no other who could ever love you more

Keep talkin' to myself when I'm alone

I don't want to be alone

Crazy people in the shadows

Love is only what you find

Come back here and you'll discover

There ain't nothing you been searchin' for

I could not give you now if you were mine

Just take the short way home

Baby take care of yourself

In this world of evil

I can keep you to myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe her by my side

In this world of evil

I can keep you satisfied

(break)

Crazy people in the shadows

Love is only what you find

Come back here and you'll discover

There ain't nothing you been searchin' for

I could not give you now if you were mine

Must take the short way home

Baby take care of yourself

In this world of evil

I can keep you for myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe her by my side

In this world of evil

I can keep you satisfied

Take the short way home

Baby take care of yourself

In this world of evil

I can keep you for myself

Take the short way home

You'll be safe her by my side

In this world of evil
