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 feet, she's so close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, oh, 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
 
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 feet, she's so close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, oh, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say ""when""
 
Be firm and be fair, be absolutely 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
