So leave your taxi waiting
turn and close my door
sit back down where you were sitting
a little closer than before

when you look that serious
it just makes me want you more
and I've been meaning to tell you

the closer you get, the better I feel
the closer you are, the more I see
why everyone says that I look happier when you're around
the closer you get, the better I feel

and yes I know you're nervous
never seen you so unsure
you haven't touched your food tonight and you're drinking more and more
and there's no need to hurry
take your time I'll still be here
and I've been meaning to tell you

the closer you get, the better I feel
the closer you are, the more I see
why everyone says that I look happier when you're around
the better I feel

the closer you get, the better you see
the closer you are, the more I see
why everyone says that I look happier when you're around
the closer you get, the better I feel
the better I feel

we've been circling for time baby
coming down to land tonight
the wait is over now and now it's easy
everything is fine

the closer you get, the better I feel
the closer you are, the more I see
why everyone says that I look happier when you're around
the better I feel

the closer you get, the better you see
the closer you are, the more I see
why everyone says that I look happier when you're around
the closer you get, the better I feel.
