Let's take the long way home tonight Maybe I can hold you tight That old moon may be shinin' bright Let's take the long way home tonight 'Cause it ain't no fun to go straight home and then Just kiss goodnight and you have to go in Let's take the long way home from the dance Maybe we will find romance We'll cuddle up if we get the chance Let's take the long way home tonight Let's take the long way home and have fun You can help me spend all my mon' Tell your mom you won't be home till one Let's take the long way home tonight 'Cause it ain't no fun to go straight home and then Just kiss goodnight and you have to go in Let's take the long way home through the park We'll be alone in the dark It may be there that I'll win your heart Let's take the long way home tonight
