Lyrics

Anything
I would give anything
If I could only show you
How strong my passion is for you
But every time I tried to tell you
I can't find the right words to say
No matter how hard I keep trying
I just haven't found a way
I can't get close enough
I can't get close enough to you
Just holding you tight all night
Doesn't seem to do
I can't get near enough
I can't get near enough of you
But you know that it's a good kind of thing
I'm going through
Anywhere
I would go anywhere
Right beside you
If that would prove my love for you
Wherever you lead, I would follow
It makes no difference, you see
I'd do anything to make you understand
How much you mean to me
I can't get close enough
I can't get close enough to you
Just holding you tight all night
Doesn't seem to do
I can't get near enough
I can't get near enough of you
But you know that it's a good kind of thing
I'm going through
Oh, I can't get close enough
I can't get close enough to you
Just holding you tight all night
Doesn't seem to do
I can't get near enough
I can't get near enough of you
But you know that it's a good kind of thing
I'm going through
But you know that it's a good kind of thing
I'm going through
Got to get closer
Near enough, near enough of you
Close enough, got to get closer
Near enough, near enough of you
Close enough, got to get closer (oh, I've got to get closer)
Near enough, near enough of you (near enough of you)
Close enough, got to get closer
Near enough, near enough of you
