Close But No Cigar Thomas Dolby

You came close
Close but no cigar
You didn't miss by far
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar

Some people sing love songs
Everybody's got one
This isn't my love song
It's more like my love-gone-wrong song

She came to breakfast
And stayed a week
But the lie detectors
Broke down each time she tried to speak
Broke down when she said:

"You came close
Close but no cigar
You didn't miss by far
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar
No matter where you are
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar"
