Good From Far, Far From Good

I don't go thinkin' it's right, for somebody else
I know how it is, I can see for myself, yeah
Look left, right, and make up your mind
If anyone tells you different, well they're wastin' your time
Yet it's alright

Hey baby, what's a man to do
He says nothin', but he ain't no fool
He's just lookin', but it's understood
Looks good from far, but it's far from good
Good from far, far from good
Don't bring it around my door
Good from far, far from good
I don't care no more

She feels out of place, but it isn't a dream
She looks 'round and she knows that it's all too extreme, yeah
And meanwhile, a party is beginnin' to stall
And now she's ready to turn, and get away from it all
It don't feel right

Hey baby, what's a girl to do
You feel hurt, cause you play by the rules
Your friends tell you you're misunderstood
Looks good from far, but it's far from good
Good from far, far from good
Don't bring it around my door
Good from far, far from good
I don't care no more
Good from far, far from good
You must accept that all, you turn and walk away
You live your own life, you get stronger every day

Good from far, far from good
Don't bring it around my door
Good from far, far from good
I don't care no more
Good from far, far from good
Baby, I'm feelin' alright
Good from far, far from good
No more no more no more no more
Good from far, far from good
Don't bring it around my door
Good from far, far from good
I don't care no more
