Standing by this telephone
Said you're gonna phone
Baby if you ring me soon,
Your gonna be called a bore
And its time for me to go,
I guess its time to leave
I'm gonna make it alone pretty baby,
This time its all for real
So keep your distance
Oh don't you hear
So keep your distance
Please please don't come near
Seems so long since you've been gon
I never really miss it some how
I've been having a real good time
The time i make you care
The last time you were here with me
You threw my head right up
For messing with my young ideals
I didn't ask for what i got
So keep your distance
Oh don't you hear
So keep your distance
Please.................
Do you really need me now
To help you through the night
It sure has been a long long time
It could be all for spite
The last time you were here with me
You threw my head right up
For messing with my young ideals
I didn't ask for what i got
So keep your distance
Oh don't come near
So keep your distance
Please.................
Keep your distance
Keep your distance
