Lyrics
The more you ignore me, the closer I get You're wasting your time The more you ignore me, the closer I get You're wasting your time
I will be in the bar With my head on the bar I am now a central part Of your mind's landscape Whether you care or do not
Yeah, I've made up your mind The more you ignore me, the closer I get You're wasting your time The more you ignore me, the closer I get You're wasting your time
Beware! I bear more grudges than lonely high court judges When you sleep I will creep into your thoughts Like a bad debt that you can't pay Take the easy way and give in Yeah, and let me in Let me in, let me, Let me in
IT'S WAR It's war It's war It's war It's war, war, war, war, war
Let me in The closer I get You're asking for it The closer I get The closer I...

"The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get" is a song by English singer-songwriter Morrissey, co-written by Boz Boorer released as a single on 28 February 1994. It was taken from the then-unreleased Vauxhall and I album and was the first Morrissey single to be produced by Steve Lillywhite. The extra B-side "I'd Love To" features Kirsty MacColl on backing vocals. Reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart, the single became Morrissey's first top-10 hit since "Interesting Drug" in 1989. It is also Morrissey's only charting single on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 46, and it became his second Modern Rock Tracks number-one hit. The song also reached the top 50 in Canada, France and Ireland. It charted the highest in Iceland, where it reached number two for three weeks.
