I like to look at shadows sweating on the wall
I get excited when I hear footsteps in the hall

La la la la la la la la la - a

Outside your balcony, I have a room with a view
And I'm watching you
I dial your telephone each and every afternoon
I wait by your door 'til you're asleep at night
And when you're alone I'm there when you turn out the light

You fumble for the keys
I'm six or seven steps behind you
I'm so close to you
Are you terrified of me
What do I know about you
How did I find out

You think I'm a fool, maybe some kind of lunatic
Say I'm wasting my time but I know what to do with it
It's as plain as black and white

I'm gonna get close to you
Oh, so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
Oh oh, so close

If you knew my infinite charm
Oh oh there'd be no reason to be so alarmed
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm some kind of lunatic
You say I'm wasting all my time
But I know what to do with it
It's as plain as black and white

I'm gonna get close to you
Oh, so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
I'm gonna get so

I'm gonna get close to you
Oh, so close to you
I'm like a hungry criminal
And your protection is minimal
So minimal

I'm gonna get
I'm gonna get close to you
I'm gonna get close
I'm gonna get close to you
So close
I'm gonna get close to you
So close
