Monologue/(They Long To Be) Close To You

歌詞

Helloooo, Hello How are you? I wonder if I can borrow about 10 minutes of your time? Ya know how it is when you feel all alone And you feel like you got to talk to somebody I want to talk to you Listen to me a minute Sittin' here sippin' on a glass of wine And I'm trying my best, not to lose my mind Not to lose my mind You know, thinkin' about the word. huh, "commercial" It's a funny, funny, funny word! Ya' know what's funnier than that You show people usin' You know what I'm talkin' about, Like, uhh, record companies, presdients Vice presidents, producers And a little engineer But, you know what? I feel, down in my heart I don't care what it is, If I can get into it, it's commercial enough for me But anyway, I remember just a little while back I walked into a recording studio with just Me and my guitar I remember starting out on song Sort of went something like this, But other than that, the same melody, anyway The head man called in, president, Vice President, and just one of his producers And an engineer And an engineer Anyway, they all sit around With their heads dropped down While I was tryin to get over, Heh You could hear a pin fall I know y'all know what I'm talking about And I'm steady trying to get over But anyway, after I got through doing my thing Or should I say, doing the best that I could I'd never forget what they told me One of the cats got up and say "I like ya, and I ain't sayin' that you can't sing" And as they all began to leave the conference table They kept saying (beginning to sing) "But you're not commercial, commercial Commercial No, You're not commercial!" So, I went on out Or, should I say, I "Souled Out" Like I've said before Music is Music, that's how it is And that's the way it is Well, I done changed my style Because I still had the same heart But, just like the man said He said "Bobby, It's gotta be funky!" I came back and said, Now I wanna sing Something that I wanna sing, a little song that says, uh It says, Uhh, (Going into the song) Why do birds suddenly appear, ev'ry time you're near? Just like me, they long to be close to you, yeah Why do stars fall down from the sky, every time you walk by? Just like me, cant you see, they just want to be close to you, yeah Listen to me a minute Oh the day that you were born the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair Of gold, and star-light in your eyes Of blue! blue! That is why all the guys in town follow you Follow you around, follow you around, follow you around Just like me , they just want to be close to you Why do stars fall down from the sky, every time you walk by, yeah Just like me,, they just want to be A little bit closer to you Oh the day that you were born -- The angels got together and decided to create a dream come true So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair And I see rainbows when I look at you That is why all the guys in town Follow you, you around Just like me, they long to be, closer to you I think I got a reason to say I wanna be closer to you! Lemme say it one mooorrre time One more time I'll go anywhere you want me to go Buy ya anything that you want me to buy! And, Ohhhh, baby! Baby! I Gotta, I gotta get a little closer to you! Yes, sir! Sometimes I wake up all night long--
