The Closer You Get

(album: The Closer You Get... - 1983)

The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all.
I'm falling faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall.

The things that you say to me
The look on your face
Brings out the man in me
Do I see a trace in your eyes of love

The closer you get, (oh baby) the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all.
I'm falling faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, (em hmm) the further I fall

Could I be dreaming
Is this really real
'Cause there's something magic
The way that I feel in your arms tonight.

The closer you get, (oh yeah) the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all.
I'm falling faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, (em hmm) the further I fall.

Keep falling, oh, yeah, yeah, keep falling,
Mm, falling, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm falling.

Yes, I'm falling (Yes, I'm falling Yes, I'm fallin')
Yes, I'm falling (Yes, I'm falling Yes, I'm fallin')
Yes, we're falling (Yes, we're falling Yes, we're fallin').

The closer you get, (oh yeah) the further I fall (um hmm)
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm falling faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
(Um hm) The closer you get, (em hmm) the further I fall.

The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all.
I'm falling faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall.
