Keep Your Distance
​

 

​

 

Verse 1:
I have learned to keep my distance
To keep myself far from heavy blows
I have learned to play it cool and to take my own car
And make my own dough
I have learned that you’re somebody
Who could hurt me and leave me blue
And you’re the kind who can say that you love me
But only mean it when you’re in the mood
In my arms you will find the path of least resistance, mmmm

 

Verse 2:
I have heard all about your old love
How she played you and put you down
How she lied and took your money
(Boy, she musta loved having you around!)
Do you suppose every woman now owes you
Her soul and her gratitude?
Just because you were made a fool of
By somebody who was smarter than you
She was wrong for you, Honey
Still you loved her with such persistence
Now you keep your distance
Yeah, you keep your distance
You keep your distance
Yeah, you keep your distance

 

Bridge:
Why would I fall in love with the likes of you?
Why in the world would you wanna fall in love with me too?
You know I’d never, even dream of whether
Me and you together, how could we ever?
When I’d be much better off if I never ever met you, yeah
If I never met you

(SOLO. . .)
So Baby come on and depend on me for a little assistance
But if you want a guarantee or some added insurance, yeah
In my arms you will find the path of least resistance
Now don’t you keep your distance
Yeah, don’t keep your distance
Keep your distance
Yeah, keep your distance

Verse 1:
There have been times when I haven’t been true
And turned my back on my commitment to you
Thought I could have it all, and stay on top of the world
But when all is said and done I’d rather be your girl
Chorus:
Absolute, never less than perfect you’re one-hundred proof
Absolute, you’re all I ever wanted so then here’s to you
Whatever lies ahead, it’s you and me till the end
We’ll endure the hard times and more, I’m absolutely sure

 

Verse 2:
All of those places I had to be
Just so I could grab at every opportunity
The price of accomplishment, it don’t add up when you spend
The best part of every day hurtin’ your one and only friend
Chorus:
Absolute, never less than perfect you’re one-hundred proof
Absolute, you’re all I ever wanted so then here’s to you
Whatever lies ahead, it’s you and me till the end
We’ll endure the hard times and more, I’m absolutely sure

 

Bridge:
Found myself lured, into mastering my own destiny
And tried to ignore, what my lonely heard was telling me
(Solo . . . )
Now there’s another scheme for this ambition of mine
It’ll be my new career to keep ya’ here by my side

 

Chorus:
Absolute, never less than perfect you’re one-hundred proof
Absolute, you’re all I ever wanted so then here’s to you
Whatever lies ahead, it’s you and me till the end
We’ll endure the hard times and more, I’m absolutely sure
We’ll endure the hard times and more, I’m absolutely sure

Am I To Blame
​
​

 

Verse 1:
I’ve been put down before, too many times
And I’ve learned that you can’t trust anyone
I can give you no more, am I to blame for illusions?
There’s sorrow somehow when love has been worn by repair
But it’s happening now so let tenderness be what we share

 

Verse 2:
Your free-hearted friends, they got nothin’ on me
Their hungers unleash on any one
I’m a stranger to dreams, I tame my desire to loneliness
Am I to blame for love I gave over again?
It’s all and the same so let tenderness be what we share

In A Secret Graden

Verse 1:

I am glad you’ve come to me, I heard your footsteps in the rain
And passed me quietly in dreams
But we’ll talk of other things, while sunset spreads her violet screen
Lighting gessoed walls and roof red-tiled
Holding hands while falling leaves
Fly like kites in autumns breeze
Chorus:
In hearts of these two names we’ve etched
Under lanterns of one evening’s light
That bend to join us head to head like stones along the path
We’ll hold this moon in fingertips
That slip away as petals slip
And join in whispered moments spent where love remains
In a secret garden

 

Verse 2:
Who will say we are misled, for simple love that we reflect
In the hearts of these two names we’ve etched?
And who will say we’re wrong, and who will say we should forget?
We are children lost in innocence
I looked across a crowded space, and saw a world within your face

 

Chorus:
In hearts of these two names we’ve etched
Under lanterns of one evening’s light
That bend to join us head to head like stones along the path
We’ll hold this moon in fingertips
That slip away as petals slip
And join in whispered moments spent where love remains
In a secret garden
