Lyrics Tender – Closer Still
Text:
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
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 might
Even learn to like the way
I get so close to say your name
Oh maybe we’ll learn to ride that wave
You could give it time
You’d learn to be mine
In my defense
I’ve been changed by another
Lost friends and gain a lover
At my expense
I’ve hurt and lost a brother
Oh gently bein’ 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
And, baby, you might
Even learn to like the way
I get so close to say your name
Oh maybe we’ll learn to ride that wave
You could give it time
You’d learn to be mine
Drown me
Bend my will
I can only feel that push and pull
Bring me closer still
Oh 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 might
Even learn to like the way
I get so close to say your name
Oh maybe we’ll learn to ride that wave
You could give it time
You’d learn to be mine
Drown me
Bend my will
I can only feel that push and pull
Bring me closer still
Oh bring me closer still
