Expressway To Your Heart
The Soul Survivors

(Kenny Gamble - Leon Huff)

 I've been tryin' to get to you  for a long time
 Because constantly  you been on my mind
 I was thinkin' 'bout a shortcut I could take
 But it seems like  I made a mistake

 I was wrong, mmm, I took too long
 I got caught in the rush hour
 A fellow started to shower
 You with love and affection
 Now you won't look in my direction

 On the expressway  to your heart
 The expressway  is not the best way
 At five o'clock it's much too crowded
 Much too crowded, so crowded
 No room for me (too crowded)
 Oh, too crowded

 Now there's too many  ahead of me
 They're all the time  gettin' in front of me
 I thought I could find a clear road ahead
 But I found  stoplights instead

 I was wrong, baby, I took too long
 I got caught in the rush hour
 A fellow started to shower
 You with love and affection
 Come on, look in my direction

 On the expressway  to your heart
 The expressway  is not the best way
 At five o'clock it's much too crowded
 Much too crowded, so crowded
 No room for me (too crowded)
 Oh, too crowded

 Oh, much too crowded
 Oh, so crowded
