Closer To You

Closer To You

I don't want to know what you wanted to say
When he asked you to dinner and then to ballet
You say you're involved but the world just revolves around you
Why won't you, why won't you stay
Maybe you wanted him to come inside
Well it must have been just one hell of a ride
In the back of a jeep and it all just seems so cheap to me
Why won't you, why won't you stay

Oh, but to be closer to you
Oh, you'd better, you'd better, you'd better
You'd better better believe and do you
Have some else you'd rather have
If he were closer to you
You've never been coy
You've never been coy
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Mmm mmm mmm
Tell me about the boy
Tell me about the boy

The minute you spin that tricky little tale
And it ties you up and it leave a trail
And I follow just to swallow the bitterness for the sake of it
Why won't you, why won't you say what you mean
Did you get the message, did you get the call
Throwing rocks at the window from your front yard
And the pain breaks inward and it shatters over you

Oh, but to be closer to you
Oh, you'd better, you'd better, you'd better
You'd better better believe and do you
Have some else you'd rather have
If he were closer to you
You've never been coy
You've never been coy
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Mmm mmm mmm
Tell me about the boy, I know
Tell me about the boy

Do you want to be lonely, do you want to be free
Is it going to be him, is it going to be me
You always have to play the victim
Yeah yeah oh no no, why won't you play along
Hours on the phone just telling me how
Everything's running away from you now
Heaven help you if you have to choose
Oh no no no no, why won't you play along

Oh, but to be closer to you
Oh, you'd better, you'd better, you'd better
You'd better better better believe and do you
Have some else you'd rather have
If he were closer to you
You've never been coy
You've never been coy
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Mmm mmm mmm
Tell me about the boy, I know
Tell me about the boy
