Props to JoshTheRipper and MrMusicManSaamto for writing this all out, but I just want people to learn the right words. Billboard Hot Country Songs for the week of July 30, 2005. Come A Little Closer by Cage the Elephant Tabbed/Edited by: JRAB The lyrics have been bothering me and I just had to post a version with the proper. "Come a Little Closer" debuted at number 49 on the U.S. Dierks Bentley's love interest was played by Bonnie-Jill Laflin. The music video was directed by David McClister and was filmed in Nashville in a warehouse. He said that Bentley doesn't quite have the vocal maturity to pull this song off but he is getting there. She goes on to compare the song to Twitty's, " I'd Love to Lay You Down." On Bentley's vocals she says that he "brings warmth to a decidedly sensual lyric." Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a negative rating. Come a little closer baby I feel like layin' you down On a bed of sweet surrender Where we can work it all out There ain't nothin' that love can't fix Girl it's right here at our fingertips So come a little closer baby I feel like layin' you down Come a little closer baby I feel like lettin' go Of everything that stands between us And the love.


The sensual tone and sexy lyric hark back to those envelope-pushing Conway Twitty hits that once raised eyebrows. Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Bentley "shows he has a way with a ballad on this sultry number.
