There's a jungle out there they say
Filled with superstition
Get on your knees and pray
If you pay maybe she'll listen
It's a struggle out there they tell me
Love comes with conditions
I tried to send a solution
But it got lost in transmission
So, so so so so many times
I fell for the same things twice
So, so so so so many times
I forgot my own advice

But the closer I get to you baby
The closer I get to know myself
The closer I get to you baby
The more that I don't need no one else
The closer I get, the closer I get

It is what it is, you tell me
Like nobody ever changed my mind
I'm too high to get my own place
I'm too scared to leave my own place behind
So, so so so so many times
I fell for the same things twice
So, so so so so many times
I forgot my own advice

But the closer I get to you baby
The closer I get to know myself
The closer I get to you baby
The more that I don't need no one else
The closer I get

But the closer I get to you baby
The closer I get to know myself
The closer I get to you baby
The more that I don't need no one else
The closer I get, the closer I get
