Before We Get Any Closer Lyrics - Bonnie Tyler

(r.j. scott/ c. stevens) 

Producer for bonnie: r.j. scott 

Before we get any closer 

Before we let it begin 

Before our feelings take over us 

I wanna tell you one thing 

I'm just an ordinary girl 

Who needs some love in her life 

I won't pretend to me more than I am 

I've had some lovers before 

But now I need something more 

Than just a meaningless holding of hands 

I'm just an ordinary girl 

Who wants to reach out and find 

Someone who honestly feels like I do 

Love is so a fragile thing I'd sooner never begin 

Than to find out too late, it's not true

Before we get any closer 

Before we tell any lies 

Before we make any promises 

We really ought to decide 

Is this a casual event 

Two ships that pass in the night 

Could we find heaven out there just one time 

Or are we closer than close 

With deeper feelings and most 

Could ever know for the whole of their lives 

Photos 

Before we get any closer 

Before we two become us 

I need to know if you'll always be 

Someone to totally trust 

I'm just an ordinary girl 

Who needs some love in her life 

I won't pretend to me more than I am 

I've had some lovers before 

But now I need something more 

Than just a meaningless holding of hands 

Is this the casual event 

Two ships that pass in the night 

Could we find heaven out there just one time 

Or are we closer than close 

With deeper feelings and most 

Couldn't ever know for the whole of their lives
