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
