Chris Rea - The Closer You Get - Текст песни

Street lights start to come on

I know that its time

Stop what youre doing

Meet those drinking friends of mine

First lady call me on the telephone

She said get out and die young but Im staying at home

Now I believe in love, I believe that its true

Know Im defenceless when I look into blue

Sleepy eyes down an angels face

Dont worry honey no-ones 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

Well sure have a good time

I know what youre thinking, well how do I feel? 

Well theres 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 Ive had some close ones but Im doing all right

Gold on her fingers dont mean a thing

Hell do his best to hear that sweet lady sing

Now I got the time if you got the place

Weve 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

Well sure have a good time

I know what youre thinking, well how do I feel? 

Well theres no rules in my book

Except the closer you get, the better you look
