I've been tryin'
To get to you
For a long time
'Cause constantly
You been on my mind

I was thinkin'
'Bout a shortcut
I could take
But it seems like
I made a mistake

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

On the expressway to your heart
That expressway, not the best way

At five o'clock
It's much too crowded
(Too crowded)
It was much too crowded
(Too crowded)
So crowded
(Too crowded)
It was much too crowded
Oh yeah
(Ooh, too crowded)
So, so crowded
(Ooh, too crowded)

There's too many ahead of me
They're all tryin'
Get in front of me
I thought I could find
A clear road ahead
But I found
Stoplights instead

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

On the expressway to your heart
That expressway, not the best way

At five o'clock
It's much too crowded
(Too crowded)
Much too crowded
(Too crowded)
So crowded
(Too crowded)
No room for me
Oh, too crowded
(Too crowded)
Oh, too crowded
