Carmen McRae

Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazz singer, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable. McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record over 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan. more »

Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when he's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, he's so 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
He's much too close for comfort now

Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"

Be firm and 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
He's much too close for comfort now

Too close, much too close
He's much too close for comfort now
