I can't be with you tonight
It couldn't be right
And the further from sight the better

I can't be with you tonight
And there ain't no use pretendin'
'Cause it couldn't be right
At least not from this end girl
And the further from sight, the better

Girl, there's somethin' that won't let me be
And it's tryin' to hide inside of me
There are some things that you'll never see

Never see, baby ever
It's not that I'm so clever
It's just that it's better

I can't be with you tonight
And there ain't no use pretendin'
'Cause it couldn't be right
At least not from this end girl
And the further from sight, the better

Get this feeling 'cause I never knew
Girl, what you had deep inside of you
Now it looks as though I was a fool

'Cause it was me not you baby
You had to do what you had to do baby
Now it looks like we're through baby

I can't be with you tonight

Can't be with you tonight
I can't be with you
It couldn't be right
I can't be with you
The further from sight, the better

I can't be with you tonight
And there ain't no use pretendin'
'Cause it couldn't be right
At least not from this end girl
And the further from sight the better

I can't be with you tonight
It couldn't be right
The further from sight, the better
