Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Ooh, just like me they long to be
Closer, closer to you, ooh
[Verse 2]
Closer, baby, closer to your love
Doo-doo-doo-da
Oh
[Verse 3]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me they long to be
Closer to you
[Verse 4]
Why do stars twinkle in the sky
Each and every time that you walk by?
Just like me they long to be
Closer to you
[Verse 5]
On the day you were born the angels got together
And decided to make a dream come true
They sprinkled gold dust in your hair
But, baby, your eyes ain't blue (Doo-doo)
Oh, but I love your sexy, sexy moves
[Verse 6]
Oh, that's why all the girls in town
They love to follow you all around (Doo-doo)
Just like me they long to be
Closer to you
[Verse 7]
I need you, baby, you got me crazy
(Closer) Oh, closer to you
[Verse 8]
On the day you were born the angels got together
And decided to make a dream come true
They sprinkled gold dust in your hair
But, baby, your eyes ain't blue (Doo-doo)
Oh, but I love your sexy, sexy moves
[Verse 9]
You know I wanna be the one you lay that good lovin' on
Like the collar on a dog, just like the ham in the country
Oh (I wanna be closer, closer to your love)
I wanna get so close to you, I'll be stickin' like Krazy Glue
(I wanna be closer, closer to your love)
[Verse 10]
Oh, that's why all the girls in town
They love to follow you all around (Doo-doo)
Just like me they long to be
Closer to you (Closer to you)
[Verse 11]
Oh, my dear, now that I've got you here
Come and tell me all the things I love to hear
Now I see how good love can be
Closer to you
