Takin' the long way round
|
I know it's a big mistake
|
I can't help myself I'm in love with you
|
And that's the truth.
|
|
I've been looking for inspiration
|
To inspirate my mind
|
Won't you give me an invitation and you'll find
|
That I'll be true.
|
|
You know how it is when you want somebody
|
Who don't especially want you
|
You tried so hard to make her see it an'
|
That's especially true.
|
|
Here's what we're gonna do
|
Toss a coin up
|
Heads I win, tails you lose
|
Come on make your mind up.
|
|
There's something I wanna know
|
If you try to keep on stallin'
|
Can I catch ya before you let me down?
|
Ah say I can.

You know how it is when you need somebody
|
Who don't especially need you

You try so hard to make her see it an'

That's especially true.

Toss a coin up
