To Cut A Long Story Short - Spandau Ballet

I could use a thousand words to say What I've got on my mind But what's the use of beating 'round the bush Wastin' words, just wastin' time Boring you with talk Ain't what I want So I'll try To get right to the point To make a long story short Baby, I love you To make a long story short Baby, I love you I could find a million words to say How your touch makes me feel But they wouldn't tell you half as much As a kiss would reveal Boring you with talk Ain't what I want So I'll try To get right to the point And make a long story short Baby, I love you To make a long story short Baby, I love you And boring you with talk Ain't what I want So I'll try To get right to the point To make a long story short Baby, I love you To make a long story short Baby, I love you Make a long story short 'Cause baby, I love you To make a long story short Baby, I love you Make a long story short 'Cause baby, I love you To make a long story short

Fatefully I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me Misery Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep And you passed right by I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides The knife cuts both ways If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break And I fell from the pedestal Right down the rabbit hole Long story short, it was a bad time Pushed from the precipice Clung to the nearest lips Long story short, it was the wrong guy Now I'm all about you I'm all about you, ah Yeah, yeah I'm all about you, ah Yeah, yeah Actually I always felt I must look better in the rear view Missing me At the golden gates they once held the keys to When I dropped my sword I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door And we live in peace But if someone comes at us This time, I'm ready 'Cause I fell from the pedestal Right down the rabbit hole Long story short, it was a bad time Pushed from the precipice Clung to the nearest lips Long story short, it was the wrong guy Now I'm all about you I'm all about you, ah Yeah, yeah I'm all about you No more keepin' score now I just keep you warm (keep you warm) No more tug of war now I just know there's more (know there's more) No more keepin' score now I just keep you warm (keep you warm) And my waves meet your shore Ever and evermore Past me I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things Your nemeses Will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing And he's passing by Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky And he feels like home If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go And I fell from the pedestal Right down the rabbit hole Long story short, it was a bad time Pushed from the precipice Climbed right back up the cliff Long story short, I survived Now I'm all about you (and now) I'm all about you, ah (and now) I'm all about you (and now) I'm all about you, ah Yeah, yeah I'm all about you (and now) Yeah, yeah I'm all about you Long story short, it was a bad time Long story short, I survived

Be careful what you say, Loose talk could sink this ship Well the way that I am as weak as a lamb, See it on my shaky lip There's more to these actions, Than you could ever know With the moon and the tide I'm drawn to your side And moving with the flow When it's time to choose and it's sink or swim, I know I'll drown this time When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in, Throw the line Now I'm swept, And I'm lost within my mind On a love that makes me blind And this feeling I just can't forget, Now I'm swept On a tide that's in my soul And this feeling that I have is losing me control And I hope it doesn't end just yet, Now I'm swept Mind over matter, No matter where this mind will be There's more to be said, oh, for games in the head Than anything you'll ever see There's safety in dreaming, So wrap me in things that I know With my head in the sand, I'm at your command And moving with the flow When it's time to choose and it's sink or swim, I know I'll drown this time When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in, Throw the line Now I'm swept, And I'm lost within my mind On a love that makes me blind And this feeling I just can't forget, Now I'm swept On a tide that's in my soul And this feeling that I have is losing me control And I hope it doesn't end just yet, Now I'm swept
