The Closer You Get Lyrics - Whatever Happened To Benny Santini - Chris Rea

Street lights start to come on 

I know that it's time 

Stop what you're doing 

Meet those drinking friends of mine 

First lady call me on the telephone 

She said 'get out and die young but I'm staying at home' 

Now I believe in love, I believe that it's true 

Know I'm defenceless when I look into blue 

Sleepy eyes down an angel's face 

Don't worry honey no-one's gonna take your place 

The closer you get, the better you look 

Throw me a line 

'cos the closer you get, the more that I see 

We'll sure have a good time 

I know what you're thinking, well how do I feel? 

We'll there's no rules in my book 

Except the closer you get, the better you look

Keep one foot in the showroom, one out of sight 

Girl I've had some close ones but I'm doing all right 

Gold on her fingers don't mean a thing 

He'll do his best to hear that sweet lady sing 

Now I got the time if you got the place 

We've got the know how and you got the face 

We got the power, we got no shame 

Come over baby, I sure do wanna light your flame 

'cos 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 

I know what you're thinking, well how do I feel? 

We'll there's no rules in my book 

Except the closer you get, the better you look
