The closer I get to you
Uh, the more you make me see
By givin' me all you've got (tell me more)
Ooh, yeah, your love has captured me, yeah
Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
When all the while inside I knew it was real (ooh)
The way you make me feel
Hey (ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)
Hey
And, ooh (ooh)
Oh
Lyin' here next to you, oh, huh
Time just seems to fly, yeah
Needin' you more and more, more and more
Let's give love a try (let's give love a try)
I wanna try, oh
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And Heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts of love will find true love (love)
In a special way, way (ooh), way
The closer I get (the closer I get)
To you, baby
The more you make me see (the more you make me see)
By givin' me what you've got, oh, yeah
Your love captured me
Ooh, over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
When all the while inside I knew this was real (got to be real)
Got to be real, the way you make me feel
You know, you know, you know
My baby, my baby, my baby
My love, my love, my love, my love
Ooh
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah, yeah)
(Come closer, love)
Come a little closer so that we can see into the eyes of love
I wanna see into those eyes of love
(Come closer, love)
Just a little closer, let me speak to you
I wanna softly tell you somethin'
Here I am, here's my love, I just want you to
(Come closer, love) yeah
Come a little closer, let me whisper in your ear
'Cause I wanna tell you somethin'
I wanna whisper in your ear so soft, so come closer, love
Move on in real close so we can celebrate
The way we feel about each other's lovin'
Wanna tell you words, words of love
Words that'll make you wanna
