Your presence meant more than I’d anticipated   Took my breath away, so I asphyxiated   Forgive me, but I just don’t think I have that kind of strength      My weakness is fragile and it’s feminine   And one’s benediction is another man’s sin   Fools rush in where wise men stay at arm’s length      If you were a hundred miles away   If you were a thousand miles away   If you were a million miles away   It would be better than having you here at arm’s length      I wish I had known when I lay by your side   That it was to be for the very last time   How much more would I have thought to savor?      Or that one sweet final kiss   Nice girls aren’t supposed to write songs like this   Fell so quickly in love, just as quickly out of favor      Some distances can’t be measured by miles   Pain that I feel at each one of your smiles   Nice girls aren’t supposed to even think these thoughts      If you were a light year gone from time   I’m telling you, boy — the pleasure is mine   Look at me here with all this trouble I bought (so willingly)
