Come a...come a little closer to it, baby,
You can't see the forest for the tree,
Come a closer to it, babe,
You can't see the forest for the tree,
Well, if you come close or walk away, either way you're gonna wind up on your knee.

Oh, come closer, closer, baby,
You ain't got as close as you can get,
Yeah, right,
You ain't got as close as you can,
Well, the way I see it, babe...
Honey child, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Yeah, right.

Why you won't do right?
Won't do right, won't do right,
Why you won't do right?
Can't you hear me crying?
Oh, can't you hear me cry?

Alright.

Let's go, one time,
Come a little closer, closer, baby,
You can't see the forest for the tree,
Ah, come closer, closer, baby,
You can't see the forest for the tree,
Well, then you come close and walk away, either way you're gonna wind up on your knee.
