Because, closer, what I want is to get closer
Closer, closer, closer than we've been before
Always tryin' to get closer about which I would

How can I say what I'm tryin' to say?
Lonely for someone who's an inch away
Closer, what I want is to get closer
Now it's time to pick out a restaurant and I'm still
thinkin' about getting closer,
A take-out stand, that's where I want to go, sir
'cause I really don't want that expensive kind,
When how to get closer is on my mind,
And closer, what I want is to get closer,
Closer, closer, closer than we've been before
Always tryin' to get closer, that's where I want to
go, sir
There she is sleepin', for more she's strivin',
But I'm touchin' her shoulder 'cause I'm always
connivin'
To get closer what I want is to get closer
Meanwhile, back in the bed, I'm snorin' up a

How can I say what I'm trying to say
That I get lonely for somebody who's only an inch away
It's cause closer, that's what I'm preoccupied with
I'm always preoccupied with getting closer to her
[???]
Now it's time to pick out a restaurant
And I'm still thinking about how we would get closer
A take out stand, well that's where I want to go sir
Because, I really don't even want the expensive kind
When how to get closer is on my mind
Closer, you see what I want is just to get closer
Well, I'm always there thinking about closer
Closer, closer than we've been before
Always trying to get closer
That's where I want to go sir
So there she is in the bed sleeping, for more she's striving
And I'm touching her shoulder cause I'm always conniving
To get closer, you see what I want is just to get closer
Meanwhile, back in the bed
I'm there snoring up a storm
And my wife is there lying next to me
And I'm there touching her arm
[[Something in Spanish]]
[I mean, I mean]
Her leg and my leg are starting to intertwine
Which is good news for me, you see, cause I'm always trying
To get closer, you see what I want is
Closer
Closer
Oh closer than we've been before
Always trying to get closer
That's where I want to go sir
"Now wait a minute Jonathan
Don't get all excited"
Well but I am and I do and I never hide it!
And closer, you see what I want is just to get
Closer Closer Closer
