Too Close for Comfort
Reeves Dianne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Don't go off your feet, she's so close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
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
Too close, much too close
She's much too close for comfort now
