What've I Got To Do

& what've I got to do
Just to get closer to you
I tried & I tried
But I just can't get closer to you

& what've I got to do
Just to get naked with you
I tried & I tried
But I just can't get naked with you

Birds are singing
& bells are ringing
Everybody's laughing
& they're looking so tan

But what've I got to do
Just to get closer to you

Every night I look into my mirror
Just hoping for some special
sort of cure to pull me through
I pray the lord my soul to keep
I dream of you all in my sleep
& I wonder

But what've I got to do
Just to get closer to you
I tried & I tried
But I just can't get closer to you

Birds are singing
& bells are ringing
Everybody's jogging
& they're looking so tan

But what've I got to do
Just to get closer to you

Well I run down the street
With my nose as red as a rose
Wearing nothing on my head
But my little sisters pantyhose
Screaming the pythagorium therum
To all the old ladies on park benches
But good god

What've I got to do
Just to get closer to you
I tried & I tried
But I just can't get closer to you
