close to the chest (a la Alan Jackson)
my friends are askin me
what i've been up to lately
want to know why i'm not around
Don't want to lie to them
Trying hard not to grin
when i say "not much is goin down"
gonna play this one close to the chestmy sister seems to know
I think it's best
to not give away my hand
but when I lay it all down
they'll know all over town
you're my woman, and I'm your man
just how these things go
she's had some secret loves of her own
she's always watchin me
pretending she don't see
my antics when we're on the phone
gonna play this one close to the chest
I think it's best
to not give away my hand
but when I lay it all down
they'll know all over town
you're my woman, and I'm your man
I can't wait to tell the whole worldI'm gonna hold you, girl, close to the chest
Just how wonderful you are, girl
Want to tell them 'bout the joy I've found
when I found you -- ya'll gather around!
I'm not gonna play this one close to the chest
I think it's best
To tell 'em I want your hand
Tell 'em that I've looked long and far
to find a beauty as sweet as you are
a woman who wants me to be her man
And all the rest
will come so easily
We'll start dancing real slow
find out where it goes
when I'm keeping you close to me
