Better From a Distance Songtext
von Travers & Appice

In jail, reform school
I never needed the golden rule
I been with girls around the world
And I took them for a fool

Run amok, lay ′em down
I didn't know it, but I was a clown
Ain′t got no job, no money too
Half the time I don't know what to do

I drove my car into a pool
My mama said that I ain't cool, and I

Look better from a distance
I look better from afar
This ain′t no movie, this is real life
My mama said you have to let go, and you
Better keep your distance
No closer than you are
I fill my face with the taste of you
And bring you up and down


I like to party, so let it be
You know you want it ′cause you wanna be free
Come up and see me any time
Just remember what's yours is mine

Maybe your body or your soul
You know they call me the Rock ′n' Roll so-and-so
Do you know me? What′s my name?
Don't you know I′m too hot to tame?

I'm known for stealing and running wild
I've been like this since I was a child, and I

Look better from a distance
I look better from afar
This ain′t no movie, this is real life
Lookin′ for a good time, I don't want a wife, and you
Better keep your distance
No closer than you are
I fill my face with the taste of you
And bring you up and down
Oh yeah, baby


I look better from a distance
I look better from afar
You better keep your distance
No closer than you are
I look better from a distance
I look better from afar
Fool, you better keep your distance
No closer than you are

Yeah, Pat Travis and the band, motherfuckers
Yeah, better from a distance
You look better from a distance
