Closer To You (with Forro In The Dark)

歌詞

Well I tasted love so sweet Played around but not for keeps I'd never been knocked off my feet until you came along In the room surrounding me are angels I cannot see I know they come to carry me to where I belong Closer to you, closer to you I'm singing like a sailor strutting up your avenue Like a clown in a costume shop wearing nothing but my birthday suit Getting closer to you All the knocks upon your door Footsteps falling on your floor All the shipwrecks on your shore Mean nothing to me All the crooks on Capitol Hill Criminals on the dollar bills All the money on Wall Street still Couldn't keep me from getting Closer to you. Closer to you Like a priest on a pulpit preaching to an empty room Like a drunk in a dive bar in the early afternoon Closer to you. Poets could not pronounce your name Gamblers couldn't play the game Matchstick statues set to flame Couldn't hold a candle to you Swindlers on the Sunset strip Hypnotists and hypocrites Ventriloquists and Pickpockets Wish that they could get Well I've tasted love so sweet Played around but not for keeps I never been knocked off my feet till you came along I sit through the trickery The jealousy and vanity The potency of your prophesy Because I long to be Closer to you. Closer to you Like a hound dog in a junkyard honey I'm howling at the moon Like a Pirate in a pawnshop with a pocket full of jewels Closer to you (x3) I'll get through Oh baby I'll get through Closer to you
