Adams, Oleta - Don't Look Too Closely Lyrics

Don't look too closely
or you will see
all of my secrets
coming out of me
I try to hide
the way I feel
but the storm inside me
is too much to conceal
Don't ask, if you really don't want to know
don't say you will, if your heart keeps saying you wont
don't try, if you really don't want to go
all the way, to the end of the road
Don't be too anxious
to probe my mind
you don't know
what your'e likely to find
cos you might get caught
in my spiders web
and I might decide
to keep you there
for ever, n'ever
Don't ask, if you really don't want to know
don't say you will, if your heart keeps saying you wont
don't try, if you really don't want to go
all the way, to the end of the road
Don't look too closely
or you will see
part of my secrets
coming out in me
dont you dare ooh
look too deeply
inside my mind
cos you might find out
I need to be left to lie
Don't look too closely

Oleta Adams got my attention back in the days because, of course, of her work with Tears for Fears. But what blew me away was in fact her cover of Elton John's "Dont let the sun go down on me". I proceeded to purchase the CD of Get here. What an extraordinary find.

This is my Jam I remember my DaD bumping this. He was A Huge Tears for Fears fan. After Mrs. Adams feature on their album he became a Oleta Adams fan. This song brings back crystal clear memories. I have this cd my Dad has the vinyl...Which sounds Amazing!!!

Produced by ROLAND ORZABAL of Tears for Fears.

One of my favorites by Oleta. Watch this talented bass player performing it. Visibly shows how much the bass contributes to rhythm and feel of a song. https://youtu.be/Qlz9HN4GSkI

She feels what she´s singing

A little mystique please.

Don't look to closely!! Love it! My theme song right now!!
