Monologue / (They Long To Be) Close To You

 

Monologue / (They Long To Be) Close To You

(álbum: Communication - 1971)


Hello, hello, how are you?
I wonder if I can borrow
About ten minutes of your time
You know how it is when you feel all alone
You feel like you gotta talk to somebody
I wanna talk to you
Listen to me

Sitting here, sipping on a glass of wine
And I'm trying my best not to lose my mind
Not to lose my mind

You know, thinking about the word, huh, "commercial"
That's a funny, funny, funny word
You know, it's funnier than that!
When show people use it
You know what I'm talking about like a
Record companies, presidents, vice-presidents
Producers
And a little engineer

But you know what? I feel down in my heart
I don't care what it is
If I can get into it, it's commercial enough for me
But anyway, I remember just a little while back
I walked into a recording studio with just
Me and my guitar
Ha!

I remember starting out on a song
Sort of went something like this
Well, it had the same melody anyway
The head man called in
President, vice-president
And just one of his producers
And an engineer and an engineer

You know, they all sit around
With their hairs dropped down
While I was trying to get over
You could hear a pin fall
Ha! I know you all know what I'm talking about
And I'm still trying to get over

But anyway, as I got down to doing my thing
Or should I say, doing the best that I could
I'll never forget what they told me
One of the guys got up and said
"I like you, and I ain't saying that you can't sing"
But as they all began to leave the conference table

They kept on saying: "watch, you're not commercial
Commercial, commercial
No, you're not commercial!

So I went on out
Or should I say, I "sold out"!
But like I said before, music is music
That's how it is, that's the way it is

Well I don't change my style
Because I still have the same heart
But just like the man said
He said: "bobby it's gotta be funky"
Oooh, ooh, yeah

I came back and now I wanna sing
Something that I wanna sing
A little song that says... Uh
It says... Uhh

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you're near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you, yeah
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by
Just like me, can't you see
That I just wanna be close to you
Yeah, listen to me

On the day that you were born
Angels got together and
Decided to create a dream come true
So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of gold, and star-light in your eyes
Of blue!
Ohhhhhh!

That is why all the guys in town follow you
Follow you around
Follow you around, follow you around
Just like me, they just wanna be close to you
Well, why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by
It's just like me
They just wanna be a little closer to you, I know, I know

On the day that you are born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
Oh... So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And I see rainbows when I look at you, oh, oh

That is why all the guys in town follow you
You around
Just like me, they long to be closer to you
I think I got a reason to say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I wanna be closer to you
Let me say it one more time, one more time
I'll go anywhere you want me to go
Buy you anything that you want me to buy
But oh baby, ah baby!
I gotta! I gotta get a little closer to you
Oh, oh, yes sir, close
Sometimes I wake up all night long
Knowing that my love is so far away

feito
