gonna get close to you

i like to look at shadows sweating on the wall

i get excited when i hear footsteps in the hall

outside your balcony i have a room with a view

and i'm watching you

i dial your telephone each and every afternoon

i wait by your door till you're asleep at night

and when you're alone i know when you

turn out the light

i'm gonna get close to you

oh-oh so close to you

i'm gonna get close to you

i'm gonna get close

you fumble for your keys

i'm six or seven steps behind you

i'm so close to you

are you terrified of me? what do i know about you

how did i find out?

you think i'm a fool or maybe some kind of lunatic

say i'm wasting my time but i know what to do with it

it's as plain as black and white

i'm gonna get close to you

oh-oh so close to you

i'm gonna get close to you

oh so close

if you knew my infinite charm

there'd be no reason to be so alarmed

maybe i'm wrong maybe i'm right

maybe i'm some kind of lunatic

you say i'm wasting all of my time

but i know what to do with it

it is plain as black and white

i'm gonna get close to you

oh-oh so close to you

i'm gonna get close to you

i'm like a hungry criminal

and your protection is minimal

so minimal
