Lyrics
SHORTCUT TO LOVE
You're all I want, in my life, but you don't know me
You're all I see, no-one else, but you don't see me
I want to rush head-long and just tell you
But there's a danger in being so bold
There ain't no Shortcut to Love
So I'll just bide my time
There ain't no Shortcut to Love if I try too hard to make you mine
And if I jump straight in and just tell you
I see heartache ahead
So I'll take the long way round
'Cos there ain't no Shortcut to Love
You're on my mind, all of the time, but you don't know me
I'm afraid one day I'll drop my guard and let it show
I want to tell you how I feel today
But I don't want to frighten you away
There ain't no Shortcut to Love
So I'll just bide my time
There ain't no Shortcut to Love if I try too hard to make you mine
And if I jump straight in and just tell you
I see heartache ahead
So I'll take the long way round
'Cos there ain't no Shortcut to Love
Oh, how can I tell you I love you
When you don't see or even know I exist?
There ain't no Shortcut to Love
So I'll just bide my time
There ain't no Shortcut to Love if I try too hard to make you mine
And if I jump straight in and just tell you
Well I see heartache ahead
So I'll take the long way round
'Cos there ain't no Shortcut to Love
I'll take the long way round
'Cos there ain't no Shortcut to Love
