Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be close to you
On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true, yes they did
So they sprinkled moondust in you hair and sunlight in your eyes
Like they do (like they do), do
That is why (that is why) all the guys in town (all of the guys)
Follow you all around
Just, just, just, just, just like me, they long, they long to be
Close to you (close to you), baby, ooh baby (ooh yeah)
If only for a minute (closer), I'll settle for an hour (closer)
And if you could stay just for one day
That would make me so happy, happy, baby
See, it won't hurt to give a love a try (no, no)
Girl, don't you pass me by 'cause I'm that kind of guy
Who's gonna love you (gonna love) and treat you like a queen
That is why all the girls in town
They don't mean nothing, baby
Follow you all around
I only have asked for you
(Just like me) just like me
They long to be close to you (close to you)
I can feel it whenever we touch
And whenever we talk and whenever we walk (together)
All the time (together)
(Close to you)
I wanna be (I wanna be), I wanna be
Come a little closer, babe
Come a little closer, babe
Lay your head upon my shoulder, babe
On my shoulder, babe
Boy, you know I can't deny it
Girl, you know I can't deny it
You done gone and set my soul on fire, baby
How I love to be closer to you, baby
Oh, I can't believe that
I can't believe that we're
Hugging and kissing and squeezing each other
And I am the one to get close to you
