Closer than a girl can get to trouble
If she hasn't yet got in it
Well, it started out like any show
Up from the dark to the light's warm glow
Did you hear that dedication
When I came up on the stage
And you came on lion, all courageous
And I stepped up to your cage
Just to see if we would go
I crossed the bridge, I thought you'd know
Now my sun is up, already hot
With two rays on two straying thoughts
But each one warm to make me glow
Or burn me if I'm not careful
It's not hard, it's too easy
I get it and I get to be
Closer than a girl can get to trouble
If she hasn't yet got in it
So now can I step lightly back between
Where you are and where I've been
And back into that thing we do
Where it's me and it's just you
And it's not hard, it's too easy
I get it and I get to be
Closer than a girl can get to trouble
Without getting in it
