Wish I was a stocking clanging to your thigh
C Dm (extra strum here)
Everytime you'd move around I'd view you walking by

Wish I was your underwear hanging around your waist

Everytime you'd shake that thing I'd get a little taste
Dm C C Dm
Closer, closer, closer to you
Dm C C Dm
Closer, got to get closer, closer to you
Dm C
If I was a pair of boots I wouldn't have to beg
C Dm
I'd be satisfied just being around your leg
Dm C
When I am dreaming it takes so many trips
C Dm
I'd pretend that I'm a stick to decorate your lips
Dm C C Dm
Closer, closer, closer to you
Dm C C Dm
Closer, got to get closer, closer to you
Dm C
If I am a necklace hanging down your front
C Dm
When you feel the time was right I'd notice what you want
Dm C
Wish I was a silk shirt draped around your back
C Dm
Right next to your skin tryin' to make contact
Dm C C Dm
Closer, closer, closer to you
Dm C C Dm
Closer, closer, closer to you
Dm-C-C-Dm(2x)

If I had my wishes, If I had my way
C Dm
I'd be all the same to you, each and everyday
Dm C C Dm
Closer, closer, closer to you
Dm C C Dm
Closer, closer, closer to you
