The Kinks - How Do I Get Close lyrics
[The Kinks - How Do I Get Close lyrics]
Living in a world where the flesh is cheap
Body touches body but it's only skin deep
I can hold you in my arms
Every time that you weep
But we've lost that emotional flow
Living on a planet full of emptiness
With maximum exposure full of sleaziness
But the make up on your
Face can't disguise loneliness
Where designer feelings are in vogue
What do they know?
Darlin' Darlin' how do I get
Close to you when I'm
Trying, trying my heart is
Reaching out to you
How do I get close to you?
In this world without feeling
Where words have no meaning
If I were lying, lying
I'd have more chance of reaching you but I'm
Crying, crying
But I can't get my message through
How do I get close to you?
Get close to the sinners
Trying hard to repent
Get close to the homeless
Wasters and the innocent
Get close to the souls ignored
And forgotten by the establishment
People get afraid to touch in case
It rubs off on them
Gotta get close, yeah people
Gotta stay close, close
People gotta stay close
Though we seem together
It's breaking my heart
This world is full of barriers
That keep us apart
Keep it superficial before feelings can start
In a world that's all glitter and glow
What do they know?
Darlin', darlin'
I can't communicate to you without
Crying, crying, I can't get a message through
How do I get close to you?
How can I get close? How can I get close?
Darlin', darlin'
How do I get close to you when you're
Surviving surviving in a world
That's making us confused
Guess I'm afraid of losing you
In this world without feeling
Somehow we gotta stay close
Body touches body but it's only skin deep
I can hold you in my arms
Every time that you weep
But we've lost that emotional flow
Living on a planet full of emptiness
With maximum exposure full of sleaziness
But the make up on your
Face can't disguise loneliness
Where designer feelings are in vogue
What do they know?
Darlin' Darlin' how do I get
Close to you when I'm
Trying, trying my heart is
Reaching out to you
How do I get close to you?
In this world without feeling
Where words have no meaning
If I were lying, lying
I'd have more chance of reaching you but I'm
Crying, crying
But I can't get my message through
How do I get close to you?
Get close to the sinners
Trying hard to repent
Get close to the homeless
Wasters and the innocent
Get close to the souls ignored
And forgotten by the establishment
People get afraid to touch in case
It rubs off on them
Gotta get close, yeah people
Gotta stay close, close
People gotta stay close
Though we seem together
It's breaking my heart
This world is full of barriers
That keep us apart
Keep it superficial before feelings can start
In a world that's all glitter and glow
What do they know?
Darlin', darlin'
I can't communicate to you without
Crying, crying, I can't get a message through
How do I get close to you?
How can I get close? How can I get close?
Darlin', darlin'
How do I get close to you when you're
Surviving surviving in a world
That's making us confused
Guess I'm afraid of losing you
In this world without feeling
Somehow we gotta stay close
