Inches Away Lyrics by Mathai

Girl Like Me

2013

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Mmm...(ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
As we reached that last day, I was hoping you'd stay
By the time I needed more, you had flown away

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah (ooh, ooh)
