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 I've 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 you're around 
The closer you get, the better I feel

And yes I know you're nervous 
Never seen you so unsure 
You haven't touched your food tonight 
And you're drinking more and more

And there's no need to hurry 
Take your time I'll still be here 
And I've 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 you're 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 you're around 
The closer you get, the better I feel 
The better I feel

We've been circling for time baby 
We're coming down to land tonight 
The wait is over and now it's easy 
Everything's 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 you're 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 you're around 
The closer you get, the better I feel
