Closer Than Most

Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open
And it made me long for little last night
Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet
But a sweet worth every bite
Now I'm not normally one to be greedy
But I had to be greedy with you
5 days, 6 days, the whole of the month
Wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
It can take a lifetime to get close
But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map
And we still got closer than most
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
So excuse my staring but it's just your looks
Are a standard well above myself
Your face might mean zip to you
But to me it's something else
All I can do is thank you
And wish that every dream you have will come true
5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life
I'll be wishing for the riches for you
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
It can take a lifetime to get close
But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map
And we still got closer than most
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
You dashed pretty's only chance of a compliment
And gave the plain the blues
Turned supermodel into last year's pull
And got her down shining your shoes
And I don't mean to be hod carrier
Of the ordinary folks bad news
But tell Miss World to fly to Mars
If she really doesn't like to lose
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
It can take a lifetime to get close
But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map
And we still got closer than most
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
