Now darling, this is my desire
Let your little old heart on fire
Do the things that lovers always do
So put your little old hand in mine
I'll buy a little diamond ring so fine
Then I'll build a bungalow for two
Closer, a little closer
There ain't no use to stay so far away
So darling, turn on all your charms
While I hold you in my arms
Let old mother nature have her way
Now my baby, take a chance
Cause I'm a achin' poor old man
I know that you were meant for me, love
You know you were meant for me, love

Your heart, it's a-beatin' fast
You know I'm a-gonna win at last
So cuddle up and be my turtle dove
Closer, a little closer
There ain't no use to stay so far away
I'd like to touch your lips to mine
I'd like to win your heart
Your love divine
Let old mother nature have her way
Closer, a little closer
Closer, a little closer
There ain't no use to stay so far away
Cause baby, when I hold your hand
I feel just like a grown-up man
Mother nature says, now that's the way
