The 77s
Closer (Live at DK’s, 1988)
[Intro]
Huh
Shh-ka
Heh

[Verse 1]
Come a little closer to it, baby
You can't see the forest for the trees
Haha, come a little closer to it, babe
You can't see the forest for the trees
Whether you come close or walk away
Either way you gonna wind up on your knees

[Verse 2]
A-come a little closer, closer, baby
You ain't got as close as you can get
Yeah, right
You ain't got as close as you can get
Well, the way I see it, baby, honey
Honey child, you ain't seen nothin' yet
All right

[Guitar Solo]

Ah, go, Marky, go, yeah!
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah!

[Verse 3]
Yeah, right
You won't do right
Won't do right, won't do right
Why you won't do right?
Can't you hear me cryin'?
Oh, hear me cryin'
One time

[Verse 1]
Come-a closer, closer, baby
You can't see the forest for the trees
Ah, come-a come-a closer, closer, baby
You can't see the forest for the trees
Whether you come close or walk away
Either way you gonna wind up on your knees

[Spoken Outro]
Yeah. Thank you.
