Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I wanna be, girl, let me be
[Verse 2]
I wanna be everything your man's not
And I'm gonna give you every little thing I've got
'Cause you are more than a man needs
That's why I say you're truly my destiny
I'm gonna get you if it takes me until forever
No, you don't feel me if forever turns into never
I'll let you know my love is just that strong
And for you, never just ain't that long, ooh
[Verse 3]
I wanna be the smile you put on your face (Oh, yes)
I wanna be your hands when you say your grace (Say your grace)
I wanna be wherever is your favorite place (Girl)
Oh, I just wanna be close (Close to you)
[Verse 4]
I wanna be the hat you put on your head (Can I be)
I wanna be the sheets you put on your bed (Your everything, yes?)
I wanna be the skirt wrapped up round your legs (Girl)
Oh, I just wanna be close (Said, I wanna be)
[Verse 5]
And even if the day turns into night
I will love you by candlelight
And even if the water starts to run over
I'll be there to put you on my shoulders (Ooh, yeah)
And if it's hard for you to get to sleep (I will)
I'll sing you a melody (Yes, I will)
I wanna feel this way till the end of time
'Cause I pray one day that you will be mine
[Verse 6]
I wanna be the smile you put on your face (Your smile)
You put on your face (Your smile)
I wanna be your hands when you say your grace
(Can I be, girl? Can I be?)
I wanna be wherever is your favorite place (Close to you, baby)
Oh, I just wanna be close
[Verse 7]
I wanna be the hat you put on your head (Yeah, can I cover you?)
I wanna be the sheets you put on your bed
(Can I wrap my love around you?)
I wanna be the skirt wrapped around your legs (Yeah)
Oh, I just wanna be close (I wanna be close)
[Verse 8]
See my life is filled (My life is filled)
With ups and downs (Ups and downs)
But I'm okay (I'm okay), when you're around (Yeah)
And when I'm in a storm (In a storm)
And my nights are cold
Reach out your hand (Out your hand)
For me to hold (For me to hold)
[Verse 9]
See, you're my queen (You're my queen)
On a throne (Yeah)
And you're the reason (Woo)
For a song (This song), and I can't wait (Can't wait)
To fill you up with love (To fill you up with love, woo)
Fill you with love, yeah
[Verse 10]
I wanna be your sun, your stars, and your moon
I wanna be a hot summer day in June (Yeah, yeah, woo)
I wanna be the smell of your sweet perfume
(I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, woo, woo, woo)
I just wanna be close (Close to you, yeah)
[Verse 11]
I wanna be the seed to bear your life brand new
(Yeah, and I'll bear your seed, I'll bear your seed)
I wanna be the one that's so faithful and true
(Can I be the only one that you need?)
I wanna be the man down that aisle in that suit, yes
(Tell me, tell me, say it, say it)
I just wanna be close (Woo)
[Verse 12]
I wanna be your sun, your stars, and your moon (I wanna be your sun)
I wanna be a hot summer day in June (Hot summer day, yeah)
I wanna be the smell of your sweet perfume
(Can I be your smell, yeah?)
I just wanna be close (Hmm, yeah)
[Verse 13]
I wanna be the seed to bear your life brand new
(That seed that bear your life, your life)
I wanna be the one that's so faithful and true (I want you to be my wife)
I wanna be the man down that aisle in that suit (Yes, I do, yeah, yeah)
I just wanna be close (Is this the way you feel?)
[Verse 14]
I wanna be your sun, your stars, and your moon
(Your sun, your stars, your moon)
I wanna be a hot summer day in June (Yeah, yeah)
(A hot summer day in June, oh, whoa, oh)
I wanna be the smell of your sweet perfume
I just wanna be close (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 15]
I just wanna be close
