Come Close to Me - Matt McAndrew

I’ll never let a girl get away again

Ain’t nobody come close to me

To me, to me

If she should try to run I would get a gun

Come on honey, come close to me

To me, to me

There’s a bridge on the river

There’s a bum in the alley

But there’s nobody wrapped in her arms

From the stars in the sky

To the place where I lie

It’s like everyone’s under her charm

So we drink in the kitchen

And she’s drunk on the sidewalk

Where somebody’s starting a fight

But there’s not much to say

'Cause we’ve wasted the day

And everyone’s wasted tonight

I’ll never let a girl get away again

Ain’t nobody come close to me

To me, to me

If she should try to run I would get a gun

Come on honey, come close to me

To me, to me

Well I know I’m good lookin'

'Cause I swear on good cookin'

My mom says I’m handsome and strong

And she knows that she’s pretty

'Cause the sirens of the city

They’re singing a sad jealous song

Upstairs the doors open

Where the gun is still smokin'

Though they lit every bit of evidence

Save a silver spare rubber

That your boy just discovered

Makin' sorrow look like confidence

I’ll never let a girl get away again

Ain’t nobody come close to me

To me, to me

If she should try to run I would get a gun

Come on honey, come close to me

To me, to me

Standing up is a struggle

When there’s juice from the jungle

And I’m filling every cup to the brim

And when John’s in the background

And puking his guts out

You can hear them chant asshole at him

On the porch she’s with me

Says her name’s Bethany

As her eyes pull me into a trance

And she tells me to stay

But she just walks away

I’m a dog and I ain’t got a chance

I’ll never let a girl get away again

Ain’t nobody come close to me

To me, to me

If she should try to run I would get a gun

Come on honey, come close to me

To me, to me

I’ll never let a girl get away again

Ain’t nobody come close to me

To me, to me

If she should try to run I would get a gun

Come on honey, come close to me

To me, to me
