Street lights start to come on
   I know that it's time
   Stop what you're doing
   Meet those drinking friends of mine
   First lady call me on the telephone
   She said 'Get out and die young but I'm staying at home'
   Now I believe in love, I believe that it's true
   Know I'm defenceless when I look into blue
   Sleepy eyes down an angel's face
   Don't worry honey no-one's gonna take your place
  
   The closer you get, the better you look
   Throw me a line
   'Cos the closer you get, the more that I see
   We'll sure have a good time
   I know what you're thinking, well how do I feel?
   We'll there's no rules in my book
   Except the closer you get, the better you look
  
   Keep one foot in the showroom, one out of sight
   Girl I've had some close ones but I'm doing all right
   Gold on her fingers don't mean a thing
   He'll do his best to hear that sweet lady sing
   Now I got the time if you got the place
   We've got the know how and you got the face
   We got the power, we got no shame
   Come over baby, I sure do wanna light your flame
   'Cos the closer you get, the better you look
   Throw me a line
   The closer you get, the more that I see
   We'll sure have a good time
   I know what you're thinking, well how do I feel?
   We'll there's no rules in my book
   Except the closer you get, the better you look
