[Verse]
A                              
Now darling this is my desire
                                 E7     
To set your little ole heart on fire
                                 A   
Do the things that lovers always do
So put your little hand in mine
                            E7     
I'll buy a diamond ring so fine
                                A    
Then I'll build a bungalow for two

[Chorus]
B                 E7       
Closer a little closer
            B                           E7    
Well there ain't no use to stay so far away
     A                                
So darling turn on all your charms
                        E7     
While I hold you in my arms
                                A E    
Let old mother nature have her way

Now my baby take a chance
                          E7
'Cause I'm a aching for romance
                                      A  
I know that you were meant for me to love

You know your heart is beating fast
                             E7
You know I'm a gonna win at last
                               A
So cuddle up and be my turtle dove

Closer a little closer
            B                           E7
Well there ain't no use to stay so far away

I'd like to touch your lips to mine
                            E7

'Cause baby when I hold your hand
                           E7
I feel just like a grownup man
                                   A
Mother nature says now that's the way
