Closer Still - Tender

Baby did I go and disappoint you again?

I know when I’ve been stupid

And you try to hide the fire in your eyes

Girl I’ve told you once before

And I can’t tell you again

If I left you wanting more

Why would you pretend?

You tell me you’re the best I’ll get

Just don’t know how to treat you yet

You pin me down, I’ll make you let

Me do what I like, and baby you’re mine

Even learned to like the way

I get so close to say your name

And baby we’ll learn to ride that wave

You could give it time, you’d learn to be mine

In my defense been changed by another

Lost friends and gained a lover

At my expense I hurt and lost a brother

Oh gently being smothered

Girl I’ve told you once before

And I can’t tell you again

If I left you wanting more

Why would you pretend?

You tell me you’re the best I’ll get

Just don’t know how to treat you yet

You pin me down, I’ll make you let

Me do what I like and baby you’re mine

Even learned to like the way

I get so close to say your name

And baby we’ll learn to ride that wave

You could give it time, you’d learn to be mine

Show me, be my world

I can only feel that push and pull

Bring me closer still

Bring me closer still

You tell me you’re the best I’ll get

Just don’t know how to treat you yet

You pin me down, I’ll make you let

Me do what I like and baby you’re mine

Even learned to like the way

I get so close to say your name

And baby we’ll learn to ride that wave

You could give it time

You’d learn to be mine

Show me, be my world

I can only feel that push and pull

Bring me closer still

Bring me closer still
