How Do I Get Close Lyrics - Kinks

Living in a world where the flesh is cheap 

Body touches body but it's only skin deep 

I can hold you in my arms every time that you weep 

But we've lost that emotional flow 

Living on a planet full of emptiness 

With maximum exposure, full of sleaziness 

But the make up on your face can't disguise loneliness 

Where designer feelings are in vogue, what do they know? 

Darlin', darlin' how do I get close to you 

When I'm trying, trying my heart is reaching out to you 

How do I get close to you? 

In this world without feeling 

Where words have no meaning 

If I were lying, lying, I'd have more chance of reaching you 

But I'm crying, crying, but I can't get my message through 

How do I get close to you?

Get close to the sinners, trying hard to repent 

Get close to the homeless, wasters and the innocent 

Get close to the souls ignored and forgotten by the establishment 

People get afraid to touch, in case it rubs off on them 

Gotta get close, yeah, people gotta stay close, close, close, close 

People gotta stay close 

Though we seem together, it's breaking my heart 

This world is full of barriers that keep us apart 

Keep it superficial before feelings can start 

In a world that's all glitter and glow, what do they know? 

Darlin', darlin' I can't communicate to you 

Without crying, crying I can't get a message through 

How do I get close to you? 

In the world without feeling 

Where words have no meaning 

How could I get close? 

How could I get close?

Darlin', darlin' how do I get close to you 

When you're surviving 

Surviving in a world that's making us confused 

Guess I'm afraid of losing you, in this world without feeling 

Somehow we gotta stay close
