Too Close For Comfort
Sammy Davis Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing will lead to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your beat, she's too close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say when
Be firm, be fair, be absolutely sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing will lead to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, too close for comfort
She's too close, too close to know just when to say when
Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
And just a little pinch of soda
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
She's much
too much
Much too much
She's too much too close for comfort now

Sammy was so good that even as a hip teenager in the 70s I loved his work. This track was on my folks' album, and I played it until the needle wore through.
