Closer Than Most |
| Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open |
| And it made me long for little last night |
| Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet |
| But a sweet worth every bite |
| Now I’m not normally one to be greedy |
| But I had to be greedy with you |
| 5 days, 6 days, the whole of the month |
| Wouldn’t satisfy my only sweet tooth |
| Well it can take many years to forge a friendship |
| It can take a lifetime to get close |
| But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map |
| And we still got closer than most |
| Hey hey hey hey hey hey |
| Hey hey hey hey |
| Hey hey hey hey |
| So excuse my staring but it’s just your looks |
| Are a standard well above myself |
| Your face might mean zip to you |
| But to me it’s something else |
| All I can do is thank you |
| And wish that every dream you have will come true |
| 5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life |
| I’ll be wishing for the riches for you |
| Well it can take many years to forge a friendship |
| It can take a lifetime to get close |
| But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map |
| And we still got closer than most |
| Hey hey hey hey hey hey |
| Hey hey hey hey |
| Hey hey hey hey |
| You dashed pretty’s only chance of a compliment |
| And gave the plain the blues |
| Turned supermodel into last year’s pull |
| And got her down shining your shoes |
| And I don’t mean to be hod carrier |
| Of the ordinary folks bad news |
| But tell Miss World to fly to Mars |
| If she really doesn’t like to lose |
| Well it can take many years to forge a friendship |
| It can take a lifetime to get close |
| But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map |
| And we still got closer than most |
| Hey hey hey hey hey hey |
| Hey hey hey hey |
| Hey hey hey hey |
