Lyrics

It's funny how I used to see you every day
But on one particular day
I looked over at you in the usual nonchalant way
And it seemed as if I had never seen you before
It felt strange that I used to deny your existence
And then it dawned on me that I had never been
This close to you
I feel the strange and eerie vibrations of love
Ooh, this close to you
Is like a breezy summer day, oh-ho
And for the first time, I feel the compulsion to say hello
Ooh, well, I'm the one that you've talked about in song
You've been going out of your head
And I never knew what you were up to, no
I apologize for making you wait so long
You've been very, very kind
And I feel kinda crazy, baby
Crazy, crazy
This close to you
Has made this a strange and ominous day
Ooh, ooh, my love
Is this an omen telling me
That I should run for love?
I never thought that I'd be in love, no
And I never thought that I'd want to be this close to you
It ain't never even crossed my mind
That I'd wanna be this close to you
It ain't never even crossed my mind
That I'd wanna be this close to you
It ain't never even crossed my mind
That I'd wanna be this close to you
It ain't never even crossed my mind
That I'd wanna be with you
I never knew, never, never
Never, no, I never knew that I'd want to be
That I'd want to be this close to you
