End of the night, I put my jacket on Calling a cab, waiting 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 'til the morning 'Cause I don't want to leave you now Let's take the long way home Just a little more time alone I don't ever want to 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 want to 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 going to learn I'd never do that I said I ain't got a plan But we could hang out 'til the morning 'Cause I don't want to lose you I don't want to lose you now Let's take the long way home Just a little more time alone I don't ever want to 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 want to 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 want to let you go Let's take the long way home Let's take the long way home
