Close Enough To You Or I Want To, But I Won'T 20140504
I can’t get close enough to you,
My friend. I want to, but I won’t.
It’s enough to just dance with you;
Could take it further, but I don’t.
I might not be what you expect.
I can’t get close enough to you,
My girl. To treat you with respect,
I won’t take advantage of you.
If, forever, I’d be with you,
I’ll faithfully hold that line.
I can’t get close enough to you,
My love. But someday you’ll be mine.
I chose to spend, with you my life.
Now that we’ve both said “I do”,
Each time that we make love, my wife,
I can’t get close enough to you.
