Like a bolt of thunder
Like a cloudy day
Down at the zoo
Like a drowning man
That will never go under
That close to you
Yeah, that close to you
In the middle of the night
You'd ask me to make you smile
You'd come on like a one armed child
With a hole in it's shoe
Poor you
Everybody oughtta know
It only hurts ya for a little while
So stop putting yourself on trial
For something you didn't do
Not you
To me
Can't we
Be
Just like
Lovers and mothers and brothers
And sorrow
Can I find a little something
With a nicer view
I'm hating to plead
But I'm begging to borrow
Just to be
That close to you
Yeah, that close to you
Like a bolt of lightning Like a bolt of thunder Like a cloudy day Down at the zoo Like a drowning man That will never go under That close to you Yeah, that close to you In the middle of the night You'd ask me to make you smile You'd come on like a one armed child With a hole in it's shoe Poor you Everybody oughtta know It only hurts ya for a little while So stop putting yourself on trial For something you didn't do Not you To me Can't we Be Just like Lovers and mothers and brothers And sorrow Can I find a little something With a nicer view I'm hating to plead But I'm begging to borrow Just to be That close to you Yeah, that close to you Explain Request ×
