Short Cut
By Charles V. Hayden & Drew Middleton

(Verse 1)

He's a sharp dresser, drives a fancy car
And he comes prepared with a strategy
He knows his velvet words have worked before
Now he’s gonna try his lies on me

(Chorus)

But there ain't no short cut to my heart
Gonna take a lotta tender care
And there's only one way to my place
Only love will get you there
If you're not committed, just forget it
Boy you're wastin' my time
Cause there ain't no short cut
To this heart of mine

(Verse 2

Need a love that's deeper than a shallow man
Playin' a game to run up his score
Won't trade my affection for a one time fling
This woman is worth so much more


(Chorus)

And there ain't no short cut to my heart
Gonna take a lotta tender care
And there's only one way to my place
Only love will get you there
If you're not committed, just forget it
Boy you're wastin' my time
Cause there ain't no short cut
To this heart of mine

(Bridge)

To get to me you gotta go through double doors
And that ain't happenin' anytime soon
The first one leads to a lifetime together
The second one will send your rocket to the moon

(Chorus)

(But there ain't no short cut to my heart
Gonna take a lotta tender care
And there's only one way to my place
Only love will get you there
If you're not committed, just forget it
Boy you're wastin' my time
Cause there ain't no short cut
To this heart of mine

(Tag)

No there ain't no short cut
To this heart of mine
