[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?

Just a little bit sad

Just 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

You're takin' the long way

She's turnin' about

(repeat and fade)
