The Closer You Get Lyrics - Bonnie Tyler

(Chris Rea) 

Producers for Bonnie: Hugh Murphy/ Ronnie Scott/ Steve Wolfe 

The street lights start to come on 

I know that it's time 

Stop what you're doin' 

Meet those drinkin' friends of mine 

First guy that called me on the telephone 

Said get on down but I'm stayin' at home 

Now I believe in love 

I believe that it's true 

That I'm defenseless 

When I'm lookin' at you 

Sleepy eyes on an angel's face 

Don't worry, baby 

No one's gonna take your place

*The closer you get the better you look 

Throw me a line 

The closer you get the more that I see 

We'll sure have a good time 

Now I know what you're thinkin' 

How do I feel 

Well there's no rules in my book 

Said the closer you get 

Oh the better you took 

Photos 

Keepin' one foot on the showroom 

One on the side 

I've had some close ones 

But I'm doin' all right 

There's gold on his fingers 

It don't mean a thing 

He'll do his best 

To hear this sweet lady sing 

I've got the time if you got the place 

We've got the know how 

If you got the space 

We've got the power, we've got no shame 

Come over, baby 

Sure do wanna light your flame, you know
