Lyrics
Come a little closer
Stay a little longer
Now the gang is gone
Put Sinatra on
What are you afraid of?
Make yourself at home now
You know you can trust me
If I dim a light
Since the fire’s bright
What are you afraid of?
Who’s to know you let yourself go
A kiss or so astray
High, oh the merrier
Blame it on the stereo all the way
Baby, take your shoes off
We’re not going dancing
Kiss me like before, let the fire roar
Throw another pillow on the floor
Learn what love is made of
What are you afraid of?
High, oh the merrier
Blame it on the stereo all the way
Baby, take your shoes off
We’re not going dancing
Kiss me like before, let the fire roar
Throw another pillow on the floor
Learn what love is made of
What are you afraid of?
Put Sinatra on
Now the gang is gone
Do it one more time
