The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
I will be in the bar
With my head on the bar
I am now a central part
Of your mind's landscape
Whether you care or do not
Yeah, I've made up your mind
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
Beware!
I bear more grudges
Than lonely high court judges
When you sleep
I will creep into your thoughts
Like a bad debt that you can't pay
Take the easy way and give in
Yeah, and let me in
Oh, let me in
Oh, let me in
Let me in
It's war
It's war
It's war
It's war
It's war, war, war, war, war
Oh, let me in
Ah, the closer I get
Ah, you're asking for it
Ah, the closer I get
Oh, the closer I
