[Verse 1]
Lady, you're comin' 'cross the water
Well, don't you think you oughta
Be waiting a while?

[Verse 2]
Are you acting
On what your heart has told you;
Is nothing gonna hold you
From flying away? Ah ha

[Pre-Chorus]
Flying away, ah ha
Flying away

[Chorus]
'Cause there's nowhere to go
Though the road is outstretched before you
And the farther you go
I said ain't nothin' gonna get you to heaven
I said ain't nothin' gonna get you to heaven

And you know just who you are
And you know that there's somethin' between us
And you like what you feel
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
Well, I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad? Oh no
[Bridge]
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Aah, aah, aah

[Verse 3]
Mister, you better get a move on
You better get a fix on
You better walk straight

[Verse 4]
I said Lady
Oh take me if you want me;
Won't you take me as you find me?
Oh, I'm needing your love so bad

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm needing your love so bad
I'm needing your love

[Chorus]
And there's nowhere to go
Though the road is outstretched before you
And the farther you go
I said ain't nothin' gonna get you to heaven
I said ain't nothin' gonna get you to heaven
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's somethin' between us
And you like what you feel
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
Well, I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad?

[Bridge]
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la
Aah, aah, aah

Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad

You're takin' the long way
She's turnin' about
(repeat and fade)
