[Intro] Close to midnight… And here you come again. [Verse 1] It’s close to midnight, Here you come knocking on my door; I want to scream and send you home, But I’ve seen this look before. You’ve been bad and you know it, Still you stand there looking fine; Deepest tan and beautiful eyes, Turning trouble into paradise. [Pre-Chorus] Those blue jeans got me losing focus, But I’ve got to keep control; Every time you move a little closer, I can feel it in my soul. [Chorus] My Liberian girl, Why do you do me this way? You arrive like Dirty Diana And steal my good sense away. I don’t want to stop Until we’ve had enough, But I’ve got to face the man in the mirror And decide if this is love. [Verse 2] We were rocking through the evening, Like the music couldn’t fall; Two restless hearts spinning together, Dancing right off the wall. I will always remember the time You whispered, “You’re not alone”; Suddenly that empty room Started feeling just like home. [Pre-Chorus] Those blue jeans got me losing focus, Your eyes keep pulling me near; You came knocking after midnight, Now the whole world disappears. [Chorus] My Liberian girl, Why do you do me this way? You arrive like Dirty Diana And steal my good sense away. I don’t want to stop Until we’ve had enough, But I’ve got to face the man in the mirror And decide if this is love. [Bridge] Maybe you’re dangerous, Maybe I’m a fool; Maybe there’s some kind of magic Breaking every midnight rule. But if tomorrow finds you missing, I’ll remember every touch; Because one night of rocking with you Could never be enough. [Final Chorus] My Liberian girl, Come and step into the light; No more secrets at my doorway, No more disappearing nights. We can dance until the sunrise, Let the rhythm lead us on; When I look into the mirror, I’ll know where my heart belongs. [Outro] Close to midnight, You came knocking at my door; Now I’m rocking here beside you, And I’m lonely no more.
