CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR. 
musik: pehrsson 
tekst: jørgensen

I know what’s up and what’s down on a woman
I know the ins and the outs
But I still can’t make heads or tails of how they work
I know ‘bout the flowers - know ‘bout the candy But when I do spend the dough
It seems I always end up looking like a jerk
And so I talk about her hair
And I tell her that I really care
And I happen to suggest a ride in my car
And she says:

CH: 
Close, but no cigar
Close, ut no cigar
You almost had it there
But you lost it somewhere
Close, but no cigar

I know sometimes you’ve got to be human
You’ve gotta show her your heart
Let her see that there’s more to you than meets the eye
I know ‘bout the music and I know ‘bout the poems But when I turn down the light
Well it always ends up sounding like a lie
And so I try to make her laugh
And I tell her that I’d love to take her photograph 
‘Cause I just might know a way to make her a star And she says:

CH:
