- Close But No Cigar LyricsYou came close
Close but no cigar
You didn't miss by far
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar

You know you came this close
Close but no cigar
Some people sing love songs
Everybody's got one
This isn't my love song
She came to breakfast
And stayed a week
But the lie detectors
Broke down each time she tried to speak
Broke down when she said :
