Volume 2: Absolute Collision
A Long Way From Lovin'

You're a long way from lovin' me tonight
Tender lips can't be kissed
if the feelin' just ain't right
I have ruined the mood until tomorrow
Now, you're a long way from lovin' me tonight

You're a long way from lovin' me tonight
I can tell by the hell
that you're putting me through
I have done some foolish things
that I'm not proud of
Now, you're a long way from lovin' me tonight

Chances are you'll come around
and make my Ma and Papa proud
by takin' on the family name with me
But tonight I'll be the company
of a bottle of ol' Tanqueray
‘Cause you're a long way from lovin' me tonight

You're a long way from lovin' me tonight
Wish I knew what to do to make it alright
Have I made you forget how much that I care?
‘Cause you're a long way from lovin' me tonight

Chances are you'll come around
and make my Ma and Papa proud
by takin' on the family name with me
But tonight I’ll have the lonely blues
can’t walk that far in these old shoes
‘Cause you're a long way from lovin' me tonight
You're a long, long way from lovin' me tonight
