Lyrics

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me, oh
Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
But all the while, inside I knew it was real
The way it made me feel
Lying here, next to you
Time just seems to fly
By needing you more and more
Let's give love a try
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fooled the tricks of time
With the heart's of love, they find
True love in a special way
I just wanna tell ya
That I need ya a little closer
Do you wanna be closer? (Yes, I wanna be closer)
Yes, you wanna be (Yes, I wanna be)
Yes, you wanna be (I wanna be)
And wanna be (I wanna be)
You wanna be (I wanna be)
Look out! (Come close to me)
No, not now! (Yeah)
You touch me where
The deeper it gets, the more I care
You touch me where
The deeper it gets, the more I care
You touch me where
The deeper it gets, the more I care
