Ooh, ooh
Mmm (ooh, ooh)
Oh, it was especially hard
When you walked into my room
You put your coat on the hook
You said: Babe, don't make me leave
But I stayed away, if only two inches away
Babe, you're not welcome here
I thought you should know this
I was wondering if you would kindly leave
You came in with a song, but I will not sing along
Fairytale love is just not in my key
Two inches away, two inches away
Two inches away, two inches away
I, I stay two inches away
Two inches away, two inches away
Two inches away, two inches away
I, I stay two inches away
(Ooh, ooh)
Two inches away from bliss
Two inches away from that kiss
I know what my mama said
She said: Wait for the one day
So I stayed two inches away
Babe, you're not welcome here
I thought you should know this
I was wondering if you would kindly leave
You came in with a song, but I will not sing along
Fairytale love is just not in my key
Two inches away, two inches away
Two inches away, two inches away
I, I stay two inches away
Two inches away, two inches away
Two inches away, two inches away
I, I stay inches away
As we reached that last day, I was hoping you'd stay
By the time I needed more, you had flown away
Two inches away, two inches away
Two inches away, two inches away
I, I stayed two inches away
Two inches away, two inches away
Two inches away, two inches away
I, I stayed inches away
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah (ooh, ooh)
