Now, darling, this is my desire
To set your little old heart on fire
Do the things that lovers always do
So put your little hand in mine
I'll buy a diamond ring so fine
Then I'll build a bungalow for two

Closer, a little closer
Well, there ain't no use to stay so far away
So, darling, turn on all your charm
While I hold you in my arms
Let old Mother Nature have her way

Now my, baby, take a chance
'Cause I'm a-achin' for romance
I know that you were meant for me to love
You know your heart is beatin' fast
You know I'm a-gonna win at last
So cuddle up and be my turtle dove

Closer, a little closer
Well, there ain't no use to stay so far away
I'd like to touch your lips to mine
I'd like to win your love divine
Let old Mother Nature have her way

Closer, a little closer
There ain't no use to stay so far away
'Cause, baby, when I hold your hand
I feel just like a grown up man
Mother Nature says now that's the way
