The Closer You Get

Street lights start to come on

I know that it's time

Stop what you're doing

Meet those drinking friends of mine

First lady call me on the telephone

She said 'get out and die young but i'm staying at home'

Now i believe in love, i believe that it's true

Know i'm defenceless when i look into blue

Sleepy eyes down an angel's face

Don't worry honey no-one's gonna take your place



The closer you get, the better you look

Throw me a line

'cos the closer you get, the more that i see

We'll sure have a good time

I know what you're thinking, well how do i feel?

We'll there's no rules in my book

Except the closer you get, the better you look



Keep one foot in the showroom, one out of sight

Girl i've had some close ones but i'm doing all right

Gold on her fingers don't mean a thing

He'll do his best to hear that sweet lady sing

Now i got the time if you got the place

We've got the know how and you got the face

We got the power, we got no shame

Come over baby, i sure do wanna light your flame

'cos the closer you get, the better you look

Throw me a line

The closer you get, the more that i see

We'll sure have a good time

I know what you're thinking, well how do i feel?

We'll there's no rules in my book

Except the closer you get, the better you look
