Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I love you baby
I like your company
You make me laugh, you never make me cry
I think you're sexy
I like to kiss you
Even your dog thinks I'm quite a guy
[Verse 2]
You're not lookin' for a husband
Found out the hard way it doesn't work for me
I need a friend
I want a lover
I have to be alone occasionally
[Chorus]
Live close by and visit often
That'll work, that'll work for me
Live close by and visit often
Save us both a lot of misery
[Verse 3]
You fix me breakfast
I'll buy you dinner
We'll hit a movie on a Wednesday night
You go to your place
I'll go to mine
Sounds like our plan is gonna work just right
[Chorus]
Live close by, visit often
That'll work, that'll work for me
Live close by, visit often
Save us both a lot of misery
[Bridge]
It could be rough
It could be easy
It might be hell, might be heavenly
How do you feel? How does it strike you?
Could you be happy with a man like me?
[Chorus]
Why don't you
Why don't you live close by and visit often?
That'll work, that'll work for me
Live close by, visit often
Save us both a lot of misery
[Outro]
Won't you live close by and visit often
That'll work, that'll work for me
Live close by and visit often
Save us both a lot of misery
