Closer Still
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby did I go and disappoint you again
I know we're not
And you try to hide the fire in your eyes
Girl I’ve told you once before
And I can't tell you again
If I left you wanting more
Why would you pretend?
You tell me you're the best I’ll get
Just don't know how to treat you yet
You pin me down, I make you let
Me do what I like and baby you're mine
Even learned to like the way
I get so close to say your name
And baby we'll learn to ride that wave
You could give it time, you'd learn to be mine
In my defence been changed by another
Lost friends but gained a lover
At my expense I hadn't lost a brother or gently been smothered
Girl I've told you once before
And I can't tell you again
If I left you wanting more
Why would you pretend?
You tell me all the best I’ll get
Just don’t know how to treat you yet
You pin me down, I make you let
Me do what I like and baby you're mine
Even learned to like the way
I get so close to say your name
And baby we’ll learn to ride that wave
You could give it time, you'd learn to be mine
Show me, be my world
I can only feel that push and pull
Bring me closer still
Bring me closer still
You tell me all the best I get
Just don't know how to treat you yet
You pin me down, I make you let
Me do what I like and baby you're mine
Even learned to like the way
I get so close to say your name
And baby we’ll learn to ride that wave
You could give it time
You'd learn to be mine
Show me, be my world
I can only feel that push and pull
Bring me closer still
Bring me closer still
