I cared for the health of a girl I met
Swapped her a kiss for a cigarette
She said I'm gonna keep my sex away from love
She knew a boy growing up down south
He lit her up and he put her out
She says I'm gonna keep my sex away from love
Oooh, I'm never getting close enough
Bodies come and bodies leave
It's a sweaty game of make believe
And I'm gonna keep my sex away from love
I see the snow on the stormy ground
And I miss you as I'm leaving town
I'm gonna keep my sense away from love
Look at the cold and the barren trees, girl
Lookin' at you made it hard to breathe
Now I'm gonna keep my sense away from love
Oooh, I'm never getting close enough
Bodies come and bodies leave
And all you wanted was make believe
So I'm gonna keep my sex away from love
You look in the mirror as you're getting dressed
And all you see is an empty nest, singing
I'm gonna keep myself away from love
Long for a man who will kiss your shoulder, whisper softly
We're getting older but I'm gonna keep myself inside your love
Oooh, imagine getting close enough
Bodies come and bodies leave
But a lover stays, and you'd best believe
That I'm gonna keep myself inside your love
I'm gonna keep myself inside your love
