Who - We Close Tonight Lyrics
How can I explain how I feelI'm like a little kid running at her heelShe's giving me looks like she thinks I'm a snappy dresserHow can I tell what I should planI've never kissed a girl or held her handShe's waiting for me to move, I've got to impress herI play guitar in a mainstream bandI've got three red jackets and a Fender jazzI've got Charlie Parker's autographThe girl I moved with's turned up on grassShe moved her seat next to mineBut I'm just playing for timeI ain't got the guts to let her see the real meMy confidence eroded awayOver hearing what children saySo I'm trying to make myself seem more appealingI know your man is in to playing jazz bassI tried that myself but I need more spaceLike to soar and fly like the big BirdmanWhen I met him last week he shook my handEvery lie I tell weaves another spell, another road that ends up blindThe Bird that shook my hand was a wanted man, I think you knew that all the timeI came so close to having you for meBut I lost you in the fantasyI pretended to myself that you were mine alreadyYou waited but deep in your eyesYou were watching me so wordly wiseThen you changed the subject and talked about going steadyI've got 200 records and a big hi-fiI sit and listen to Ella and Basey all nightI played modern jazz of every varietyYou could come and listen but we close tonight
