I try to be kind, but some people are just a bit scary....

lyrics

Keeping My Distance

They say no matter what you should always trust your gut
and now I know it to be true
Because I saw your police mug looking guilty and smug
So I’m keeping my distance from you.

I know what you did to the cat and you know what they say about that…they say it’s a pretty good clue
No, it’s a guarantee you’re a psychopath trainee
So I’m keeping my distance from you.

If you take 2 steps forward, then I’ll take 3 steps back
I can’t let down my guard
If I see you on my road I’ll change my zip code
So I’m not between a rock and a place that is hard

Was I out of my damn mind; I was trying to be kind
though you have a twisted point of view
But you’re a ne’er do well who belongs in a cell
So I’m keeping my distance from you.

If you take 2 steps forward, then I’ll take 3 steps back
I can’t let down my guard
If I see you on my road I’ll change my zip code
So I’m not between a rock and a place that is hard

There really is no tellin’ what a crazy felon
might dream up and actually do
I try to have a heart but I’m trying to be smart
So I’m keeping my distance from you
Yes, I try to have a heart but I’m trying to be smart
So I’m keeping my distance from you
