Come a little closer to it baby
You can't see the forest for the tree
Come a-closer to it baby
You can't see the forest for the tree
Well, you come close and walk away?
Either way you're gonna wind up on your knee
Come closer closer baby
You ain't got as close as you can get
Yeah right
You ain't got as close as you can get
Well the way I see it babe
Honey child you ain't seen nothing yet
Yeah right
Why you won't do right?
Won't do right. Won't do right.
Why you won't do right?
Can't you hear me cryin'?
Can't you hear me cryin'?
Come a little closer closer baby
You can't see the forest for the tree
Come closer closer baby
You can't see the forest for the tree
Well, you come close and walk away?
Either way you're gonna wind up on your knee
