"The Distance" lyrics

(The more that you give, the less that I want)

Think I need a boyfriend that I just see once a week
Someone like a CEO, real busy and low-key
My boy needs a hobby 'cause he's too in love with me
Why don't you got somewhere else to be? Ah-ah

Mm, I like kissing you
Doesn't that say enough that I'm into you? Ooh
But, mm, kinda kills the mood, ah
When you call too much
That's the kinda stuff only mothers love

'Cause I don't mind the distance when we're apart
I don't mean to go missing and play with your heart
But I don't mind the distance, so stay where you are
Why you gotta shoot for the stars? Oh-ooh

'Cause I don't mind the distance
(Why you gotta shoot for my love?)
'Cause I don't mind the distance
(The more that you give, the less that I want)
'Cause I don't mind the distance
(Why you gotta shoot for my love?)
Why you gotta shoot for the stars?

Man, I got work in the morning, so you can't stay over late
And I can't make it to dinner, I got too much on my plate
We said we would take it easy, I'm not tryna take your name
Got it once and you were never the same (I get it)

Mm, I like kissing you
Doesn't that say enough that I'm into you? Ooh
But, mm, kinda kills the mood, ah
When you do too much
Got me feeling cuffed and not the way I want (Ah)

'Cause I don't mind the distance when we're apart
I don't mean to go missing and play with your heart
But I don't mind the distance, so stay where you are
Why you gotta shoot for the stars? (Stars) Oh-ooh

'Cause I don't mind the distance
(Why you gotta shoot for my love?)
'Cause I don't mind the distance (Oh-oh)
(The more that you give, the less that I want)
'Cause I don't mind the distance (Oh-oh)
(Why you gotta shoot for my love? Gotta, gotta)
Why you gotta shoot for the stars?
(Why you gotta, gotta?)

Just a little touch and attention (Ooh)
Why's it gotta come with commitment? (Ooh)
Miss me 'til you don't need me anymore (Ooh)
(Why you gotta shoot for the stars?)
Just kiss me goodbye in the evening (Oh, oh)
Boy, you know we still got the weekend (Ooh, ooh)
Not sure I can come meet you where you are
So, why you gotta shoot for the stars? (Ooh)
The more that you give, the less that I want, oh, uh

Ooh, ooh (Oh), ooh, ooh
You don't need me anymore (Ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh), ooh, ooh
Ooh, come meet you where you are (Are, ooh)
