I can't take the distance You got me losing my persistence I can't take the distance anymore Well now you're gone forever again Girl that's no news to me I blame myself for letting you in To have you confuse me Guess I'll never learn to play it smart If I twist your arm you'll break my heart I can't take the distance You got me losing my persistence I can't waste emotion on love That leaves me at the door I've been banging on this concrete wall Now there's a little too much resistance And I can't take the distance anymore I tried so long to be what you want But you don't want me in your world You think we'll work it out in some restaurant Well I got my reservations girl There's no way to get my way with you Now you're closing all the doors That lead me through I can't take the distance You got me losing my persistence I can't wait forever on love That leaves me at the door I've been banging on this concrete wall Now there's a little too much resistance And I can't take the distance anymore And I can't take the distance anymore No, I can't take the distance anymore Well, now you're gone forever again Meanwhile, I'm dreaming I can't take the distance I say I can't take the distance anymore Can't take the distance I can't take the distance anymore Can't take the distance Can't take the distance anymore Can't take the distance Can't take the distance anymore
