Warwick, Dionne - Take The Short Way Home Lyrics
Take the short way home
You've been makin' up your mind
And I can save you from the trouble that your heart is goin' through
And I can tell you what your future's gonna be
Baby, you can't leave me now
There is lightening in the city
Stranger than you ever saw
Get back to your special lover
And I won't ever turn on you
Or tell you you should tell me where you go
Take the short way home
Baby, take care of your health
I can't keep you to myself
Take the short way home
You'll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I can't keep you satisfied
And you can make it easy on yourself
Some other love will call my name when you're away and I'll be gone
I keep talkin' to myself when I'm alone
I don't wanna be alone
Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and you'll discover
There ain't nothin' you've been searchin' for
I could not give you now if you are gone
Take the short way home (Home)
Baby, take care of your health
In this world of evil
Take the short way home
You'll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I can't keep you satisfied
Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and you'll discover
There ain't nothin' you've been searchin' for
I could not give you now if you are gone
Take the short way home (Take the short way home)
Baby, take care of your health (Take care of your health)
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself (Hey, hey)
Take the short way home (The short way home)
You'll be safe here by my side (Be safe here by my side)
In this world of evil (Yeah) I can't keep you satisfied (Can't keep you satisfied)
Take the short way home (Take the short way home)
Baby, take care of your health (Take care of your health)
In this world of evil (Oh)
I can't keep you to myself
Take the short way home
You'll be safe here by my side (Right by my side)
In this world of evil
I can't keep you satisfied (Yeah, yeah)
Take the short way home (Home)
Baby, take care of your health (Oh, yeah)
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself
Take the short way home

Warwick, Dionne Take The Short Way Home Comments
DA JAM!!!!!!
forgot how hot this tune is ... great production all around ... awesome vocals by all involved
This is when music was at its best. Blam!
Reminds of PROMISES by Barbra Streisand
Also written by the Bee Gees
One we all missed somehow.
it's like sailing on a cloud overlooking everything else...never a worry or care in this world ever...rock on!
The brilliance of the BeeGees
And You Can Make It Easy On Yoursel as an old Dionne´s song said
Bee Gees Always in my heart.
The bee gees are great, yes I agree but let us not underestimate dionne. Give this song to someone else the result would be less than perfect
But remember they specifically wrote for the artists they were working with. Its obvious when you listen to Barry's demos, that he makes for the artists.
uhh Barbra
It's good to make justice to a real genious called Alby Galuten, he made most of the arrangements for this album "Heartbreaker"
What a sound & voices of Bee Gees. Bee Gees are born once in entire planet life..That's all
エアチェックし忘れたから買いましたよ当時、EP版を( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ ｸﾞｯ !
Mr Moto what does that mean in English?
Amazing. Great.
great song
fantastico ! Amazing
i knew heartbreaker made the charts and all the love in the world but i had no idea this was even on the charts?
It just missed the Top 40. Peaked at number 41.
Despite its low charting on the Hot 100,. this song actually managed to get as high as #17 on the Radio & Records chart.
this song only went to #41 on the pop charts in 1983!!!
That fact has always baffled me. When this song was released, I thought it would be huge. Actually, I thought it would do just as well as, if not better than, Heartbreaker. I still love it.
entered Billboard Feb 26, 1983 ..reached #41
Only few have the magic touch like those 3 great bros ......long live barry
What a very beautiful melody and lyrics beautifully arranged and produced by the gibb. ....wooooow
bee gees great harmony, make the song better
+Thomas Rinallo JR They also did great job backing vocals for Heartbreaker too!
The Bee Gees touch was always golden, great sound.
The case of a musical .......
Made by The Bee Gees ! Great as always !
Valérie MARC they are not the bee gees. Is Barry Gibb alone singging several tracks
@jesus Rodriguez she means it was written by them.
Should've made top 40 pop in Billboard. It was THAT great!
it did!
Another great song written by the Bee Gees. Dionne sang it brilliantly!
Good one! I really, really love "Heartbreaker," however. Dionne the legend.. :-)
I did not even realize this was a charting single until recently.
#41 Billboard, #32 Cash Box in early 1983.
and top 30 R & R. This is good, but I've always preferred All the Love to this.
Hit #5 on the Billboard AC charts as well
