Just to Be Close to You

Just to be close to you, girl

Just for a moment

Well, just for an hour

Just to be close to you, girl, oh wow

Oh baby

Ah, you know I've been through so many changes in my life, girl

Oh, I've been up right high where

I thought I didn't need anything

Ah, and then again I've been down real low where

There was no one in my life that needed me

Thought I found it

Material things I, I thought had so much value

Oh, girl, didn't really have any value at all

Huh

Then I was a lonely man

A man with no direction, with no purpose

With no one to love and no one to love me for, for me

Oh girl, then you, then you came into my life

You made my jagged edges smooth

You made my whoo

You made my direction so clear and new

Oh woman, you became my purpose, my reason for living, girl

You see, you're my heart, you're my soul

You're my stone inspiration

Baby, oh that's why I'm standin' here singing

And opening my arms to you

I want to say, child, why don't you (Take my hand?)

Aw, we'll live in love forever, yeah (Take my hand)

Ooh, we'll be alone

You and me, yeah

(Take my hand) Girl, we'll live our lives together, yeah together

Ooh, together, yeah

Aw, together (Together)

Just to be close to you, girl

Just for a moment, baby (Well)

Just for an hour

Just to be close to you, girl

Hey, hey, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I've been out there searching so very long, baby

Searching to find somebody just like you

And for some folks it takes a lifetime, sugar

To find in this world a dream come true, why don't ya (Take my hand?)

Oh, we'll live in love forever, yeah (Take my hand)

Girl, we'll be alone, you and me (Take my hand)

We'll spend our lives together

Together (Together)

Ah, ah, ah, together (Whoa, whoa, together)

Ah, just to be close to you, girl

Just for the moment (Oh, just for the moment)

Ah, just for the hour

Just to be close to you, girl

I need you baby

To make love

To be loved by you, baby

To have your warm body close to mine

To whisper words that make you feel like a woman

Girl, I know our love will stand the test of time

Just to be close to you, girl

For the moment, baby

For the moment, baby

For the moment, baby

For the sugar, sugar

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, and girl I wanna say

Closer and closer, girl please hold me closer

My arms are still burning

Girl, you've got me yearning for you love

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Shining on (Oh)

One, two, shining on (Baby)
