Detour Ahead - Sarah Vaughan

Smooth road, clear day

But why am I the only one

Trav'ling this way?

How strange the road to love should be so easy

Can there be a detour ahead?

Wake up, slow down

Before you crash and break your heart

Gullible clown, you fool

You're headed in the wrong direction

Can't you see the detour ahead?

The farther you travel

The harder to unravel the web he spins around you

Turn back while there's time

Can't you see the danger sign?

Soft shoulders surround you

Smooth road, clear night

Oh lucky me, that suddenly I saw the light

I'm turning back away from all this trouble

Smooth road, smooth road, no detour ahead
