come closer

[Verse 1]
If you give a dog a bone
He will follow you home
And wait for ya
Until he's bored of ya
If you call my telephone
And leave a note at the tone
I won't ignore ya
Been waiting for ya

[Chorus]
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take

[Verse 2]
We're in a dimly lit restaurant
On the Lower East side
And you look gorgeous
Yeah, I adore ya
You're the only one I want
And I ain't one of your pawns
You look around the room
To see who looks at you

[Chorus]
Come closеr or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learnеd to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take

[Bridge]
Loving you isn't hard
It's letting go that leaves a scar
Do you feel me too, in your heart?
Or only when I touch your burns?

[Chorus]
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take

[Outro]
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take
