End of the night I put my jacket on, callin' a cab Waitin' outside You nearly passed me but then you asked If I had a light I told a joke and we shared a smoke or five I said I ain't got a plan But we could hang out 'till the morning 'Cause I don't wanna leave you now Let's take the long way home Just a little more time alone I don't ever wanna let you go Let's take the long way home Let's take the long way home I'm not ready to be alone I don't ever wanna let you go Let's take the long way home I took your hand You said I moved a little too fast So I gave it back You said somebody had hurt you before And it cut you real bad But he don't deserve you, you're gonna learn I'd never do that I said I ain't got a plan But we could hang out 'till the morning 'Cause I don't wanna lose you I don't wanna lose you now Let's take the long way home Just a little more time alone I don't ever wanna let you go Let's take the long way home Let's take the long way home I'm not ready to be alone I don't ever wanna let you go Let's take the long way home Let's take the long way home Just a little more time alone I don't ever wanna let you go Let's take the long way home Let's take the long way home
