So leave your taxi waiting
And turn and close my door
And sit back down where you were sitting
A little closer than before
And when you look that serious
It just makes me want you more
And Ive 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 youre around
The closer you get, the better I feel
And yes I know youre nervous
Never seen you so unsure
You havent touched your food, tonight
And youre drinking more and more
And theres no need to hurry
Take your time Ill still be here
And Ive 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 youre 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 youre around
The closer you get, the better I feel
The better I feel
Weve been circling for time baby
Were coming down to land tonight
The wait is over and now its easy
Everythings 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 youre 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 youre around
The closer you get, the better I feel
