Oh, if I cross your path again
Who knows where or who knows when
On some mountain without number
On some highway without endDon't grasp my hand and say
"Fate has brought you here today"
Oh, fate is only foolin' with us, friendKeep your distance, keep your distance
Oh, when I feel you close to me, what can I do but fall
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Oh, with us it must be all or none at allOh, it's a desperate game we play
Throw our souls, our lives, away
On wounds that can't be mended
And debts that can't be paidOh, I played and I got stung
Now, I'm biting back my tongue
And sweepin' out the footprints where I strayedKeep your distance, keep your distance
Oh, when I feel you close to me, what can I do but fall
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Oh, with us it must be all or none at all
Oh, with us it must be all or none at allKeep your distance, oh, keep your distance
