Nearer To You Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaint

[Verse 1]
I may do things you don't understand
But remember I'm only doing the best I can
Every little thing I do, I'm trying to get closer to you
Nearer (Nearer, nearer)

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry if I seem a little bit stubborn sometimes
I hope I'm not being a nuisance to you
I know you say that you'll be home soon
I've got to be nearer, nearer to you

[Organ Solo]

[Refrain]
Every deed I do, I'm trying to get closer to you
Nearer (Nearer, nearer)

[Organ Solo]

[Refrain]
I know you say that you'd be home soon
I've got to be nearer, nearer to you
I've got to be nearer, nearer to you
I've got to be nearer, nearer to you
