lyrics

(Tryin') To Get Close To You
words and music by Richard d'Andrea ©2018, ℗2018 Raw Terra

There's nothing in this world that I won't try
Some say I'm crazy and that's no lie
But I'd be such a fool
I'd feel like a tool
If I didn't try to get close to you

Now I don't want to fall in love with you
But I would take that chance if you wanted me too
'Cause I feel like I'm back in school
And I could break every rule
Just tryin' to get close to you

And if you should say no
Do I really turn to go
It's hard to give you up
'Cause I've seen enough to know

I hope I haven't got you runnin' scared
I hope I haven't crossed a line somewhere
But you know it's really true
There's nothing a man won't do
If he's tryin' to get close to you

And if you should say no
Do I really turn to go
It's hard to give you up
'Cause I've seen enough to know
You're the one I want

There's nothing in this world that I won't try
Some say I'm crazy, maybe that's no lie
But I'd feel like a fool
And life would seem so cruel
If I just couldn't get close to you

Yes I'd feel like such a tool and life would seem so cruel
If I never could get close to you

Cause I feel like I'm back at school and I'd break every rule
Just tryin' to get close to you
