(John Farrar)

I know that in time I can handle this a little better
But what can I do if your heart won't let her go
There are times I mean everything to you

Life can be so sweet when I do
You know...

You gotta know
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me

I beg you for the truth but I don't wanna hear it
You pour it all out and I won't go near it
Oh no, oh no, but I believe you're gonna love me again
So I'll try to make it easier till then
You know...

You gotta know
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me

Are you gonna break away, set yourself free
Let me see the kinder man that I used to see
Make yourself open up, let it all go
If you're really mine again, let this crazy fool know

There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me

I wanna be closer
I wanna go back where we used to be
Oh baby, please get close to me
Get a little bit closer
I wanna be closer
I wanna be closer
I gotta be closer
