The street lights start to come on    I know that it's time    Stop what you're doin'    Meet those drinkin' friends of mine    First guy that called me on the telephone    Said get on down but I'm stayin' at home       Now I believe in love    I believe that it's true    That I'm defenseless    When I'm lookin' at you    Sleepy eyes on an angel's face    Don't worry, baby    No one's gonna take your place       The closer you get the better you look    Throw me a line    The closer you get the more that I see    We'll sure have a good time    Now I know what you're thinkin'    How do I feel    Well there's no rules in my book    Said the closer you get    Oh the better you took       Keepin' one foot on the showroom    One on the side    I've had some close ones    But I'm doin' all right    There's gold on his fingers    It don't mean a thing    He'll do his best    To hear this sweet lady sing    I've got the time if you got the place    We've got the know how    If you got the space    We've got the power, we've got no shame    Come over, baby    Sure do wanna light your flame, you know       The closer you get the better you look    Throw me a line    The closer you get the more that I see    We'll sure have a good time    Now I know what you're thinkin'    How do I feel    Well there's no rules in my book    Said the closer you get    Oh the better you took
