The Closer You Get

(Chris Rea) The street lights start to come on I know that it's time Stop what you're doinMeet those drinkin' friends of mine First guy that called me on the telephone Said get on down but I'm stayin' at home Now I believe in love I believe that it's true That I'm defenseless When I'm lookin' at you Sleepy eyes on an angel's face Don't worry, baby No one's gonna take your place [Chorus:] 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 Now I know what you're thinkinHow do I feel Well there's no rules in my book Said the closer you get Oh the better you took Keepin' one foot on the showroom One on the side I've had some close ones But I'm doin' all right There's gold on his fingers It don't mean a thing He'll do his best To hear this sweet lady sing I've got the time if you got the place We've got the know how If you got the space We've got the power, we've got no shame Come over, baby Sure do wanna light your flame, you know [Chorus]
