Too Close For Comfort
Make you wanna moan sometimes – somebody doing somebody wrong ooohhh
(You were doing me when you were doing him) I can’t understand it baby
(Too close for comfort) Too close for comfort

You made it clear you that you knew him, way back when
Before you knew me, but I didn't know you had such a history
He would just drop by and he would always call
You claim he was like a brother
And that was all
Something started clicking
And the love that you were givin'
Was not the same
One night you called out his name
Right then, I knew

You were doin' him, no no not the way you do a friend
Too Close for comfort (Too close for comfort)
You were doin' me, you were doin' him
???
Too close for comfort (Too close for comfort)

All this hanging out together, you could care whether I could see
The wrong that you were doing me
Your friends knew it too
They smiled up in my face
Some even lie for you
It’s a downright disgrace
I had my suspicions
But my heart wouldn’t let me listen
I try to be oblivious
But it became so obvious
You were doin' him, not the way you do a friend (that ain’t right baby)
Too close for comfort (Too close for comfort) (Too close for comfort) whoooo
You were doin' me, you were doin' him
That ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
Too close for comfort (Too close for comfort)

All the time you had me coming behind another man
Somebody we both knew, and now I understand, that ooooh

You were doin' him, not the way you do a friend
Too close for comfort (Too close for comfort)
You were doin' me, you were doin' him
That ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
Too close for comfort (Too close for comfort)

You were doin' him, not the way you do a friend – let me ask you one thing girl
Too close for comfort (Too close for comfort)
You were doin' me, you were doin' him
That ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
Too close for comfort (Too close for comfort)

Too close for comfort
I can't stand the pain
You're gonna fool around with another man

Too close for comfort
You were doin' him, not the way you do a friend
Too close for comfort (Too close for comfort)
You were doin' me, you were doin' him
That ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
Too close for comfort (Too close for comfort)
