[Verse 1]
Like a bolt of lightning, like a bolt of thunder
Like a cloudy day down at the zoo
Like a drowning man that'll never go under
That close to you, yeah, that close to you
[Chorus]
In the middle of the night
You'd ask me to make you smile
You'd come on like a one-armed child
With a hole in its shoe, poor you
Everybody ought to know
It only hurts you for a little while
So stop putting yourself on trial
For something you didn't do
Not you, to me, can't we be just like
[Verse 2]
Lovers and mothers and brothers and sorrow
Can I find a little something with a nicer view?
I'm hating to plead, but I'm begging to borrow
Just to be that close to you, yeah, that close to you
[Chorus]
In the middle of the night
You'd ask me to make you smile
You'd come on like a one-armed child
With a hole in its shoe, poor you
Everybody ought to know
It only hurts you for a little while
So stop putting yourself on trial
For something you didn't do
Not you, to me, can't we be just like
[Verse 2]
Lovers and mothers and brothers and sorrow
Can I find a little something with a nicer view?
I'm hating to plead, but I'm begging to borrow
Just to be that close to you, yeah, that close to you
[Refrain]
Ooh yeah, close to you
Yeah, that close to you
