(Chris Rea)
|
The street lights start to come on
|
I know that it's time
|
Stop what you're doin'
|
Meet 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 thinkin'
|
How 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]
|
