Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart Don't upset your cart when she's so close Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet Don't go off your beat; she'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 She'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 So 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 She's much too close for comfort now Too close, much too close She's much too close for comfort now
