[Verse]:

The men of science are a brilliant clan.

Just think, just think,

They can tell how far it is

From here to a star above.

And yet they cannot measure the safest distance

Between a woman and a man in love.

Since i cannot consult a book of knowledge

That may be lying on the shelf,

I guess i`ll have a confidential discussion

With myself.

[chorus]:

Be wise, be smart, behave my heart,

Don`t upset your cart when she`s/he`s so close.

Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet,

Don`t go off your beat,

She`s/he`s too close for comfort.

Too close, too close for comfort,

Please not again.

Too close, too close

To know just when to say, `when`.

Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware,

On your guard, take care

While there`s such temptation.

One thing leads to another,

Too late to run for cover,

She`s/he`s much too close for comfort now!

Too close, too close.

She`s/he`s much too close for comfort now.
