[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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 look

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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 look
