Long Way Around - Eagle-Eye Cherry, Neneh Cherry

You say what you say and you pray that one day

You’ll be seen between the shadows

Now that’s a waist of your pain;

Living your life like a saint

When it don’t…no;

it don’t even matter

Even saints make their mistakes

Letting their dreams fall and break

All it feels like Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

Now I want you to see how good life can be

You can turn around and better your life

With the good times found

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you’ll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

(To the beat y’all, come on y’all! hehe…)

I’m not afraid of pride when it’s for the right side

Don’t betray what I believe in

Stand where you want to stand and I’ll believe when I can

Cause I’m telling you now;

I been where you’re living in

Will tomorrow keep it’s promise?

No one here can say

The past is all behind us and all we have is today, and all we have is today

Don’t quit it now, don’t stop it now (sunshine in)

La-di-da-di, we like to party!

don’t cause trouble, don’t run in nobody

La-di-da-di, we like to party!

Ha-ha

Yes, yes y’all!

to the beat y’all!

don’t quit, don’t quit
