Nearer To You - Elvis Costello, Allen Toussaint

I may do things you don’t understand

But remember, I’m only doing the best I can

Every little thing I do I’m just trying to get closer to you

I’m sorry if I seem, ooh yeah, a little bit stubborn sometimes

I hope I’m not being a nuisance to you

I know you say that you will be home soon

Oh, got to be nearer, nearer to you

Every little thing I do I’m just trying to get closer to you

Every little thing I do I’m just trying to get closer to you

Oh, got to be nearer, nearer to you

Oh, got to be nearer, nearer to you

Oh, I’ve got to be nearer, nearer to you
