Lyrics Long Way Around - Eagle-Eye Cherry, Neneh Cherry

Long Way Around

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
