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

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

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
