The Long Way

We've came the long way
 And I thought you knew
 It was the long way
 My darling, I thought you knew
 We came the long way
 So, don't break my heart, babe
 Don't try
 We've been through the desert
 Where no water flow
 We've walked streets and highways
 Where kung fu is afraid to go
 It was the long way
 So don't try
 (.)
 Don't try
 And I go tell you why, baby
 It's 'cause I adore you so much, you know
 So don't try
 It's because I
 I still need your warm and tender touch
 I just can't make it without you, darling
 So don't try
 Hey! We've been on the mountain
 And I thought you knew
 We've been through the valley
 Where the green herbs grow
 Oh, darling
 It was the long way
 So don't break my heart, yeah darling
 Ah don't try
 Ah don't try, try
 Ah cha-cha
 Cha, cha
 Ah cha, cha
 An' I'm gonna take you by the river
 Gonna take you down by the riverside
 An' I'm gon' make you my little bride
 An' I'm gon' always tell you nice things
 Like when we're down by the riverside
 An' I've got you by my side
 Maybe I'm gon' tell you 'bout the good thing
 Brand new thing for you
