Maybe she's not quite ready for a closer relationship. But, he'll take what he can get - it's close enough

Lyrics

Close Enough

I got 3 strings on my old guitar - and that ain't gonna play a tune
3 legs on my kitchen table - now, that just won't do ...
You can't put out half a fire or drink your coffee without a cup
Like a bungee cord a little too long, well, that ain't close enough

I got a tent with missing poles, and that won't help a lot
A royal flush without a king - no, that won't take the pot
It's like a submarine almost leak proof or half of a haircut
No, some things just don't cut it - well, they're not close enough

Babe, you ain't said you love me yet
And you're not ready for no serious stuff
But when you look into my eyes, and show that little smile
Well, that's close enough

Like superman without a cape - he ain't gonna fly
A fish hook that ain't go no bait, those fish ain't gonna bite
Like the final shot on 18 holes that rolls up right next to the cup
Like a goodnight kiss that doesn't touch - babe, that sure ain't close enough

Babe, I know you ain't said you love me yet
And you're not ready for no serious stuff
Yeah, but when you look into my eyes, and show that little smile
That's close enough

I wish we'd be together every night and day
We'd take this to the next step, if I only had my way
They say close only matters in horseshoes and grenades
But it's close enough for me that you're in my arms today

That's close enough, babe that's close enough
That's close enough, yeah that's close enough

Yeah, when you show that little smile - that's close enough
