Lyrics
When you're in bad with your brother (Your brother)
And your sister, she's down on you, too (Baby)
You feel the whole world is against you, baby (Against you)
This is want I want you to do
Come closer to me (Closer to me)
Closer to me (Closer to me)
Now when your next-door neighbors are talkin' (About you)
Makin' you feel kinda small, girl (So small)
Makin' you feel so unwanted (Unwanted)
Till nobody loves you at all
Come closer to me (Closer to me)
Closer to me (Closer to me)
There wouldn't be love without you (Oh, no)
I'm the right guy, can't you see?
When you're in need of a loved one, darlin'
(This is what cha got to do) Darlin', come closer to me
Now when your friends all turn against you (Against you)
Leavin' you so all alone (Alone)
Makin' you feel so unwanted, baby (Unwanted)
Just reach for the telephone
It'll bring you closer to me (Closer to me)
It'll bring you closer to me (Closer to me)
My baby (Closer to me)
Oh, I need you closer (Closer to me)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, my baby (Closer to me)
I need you, need you, need you closer (Closer to me)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, my baby (Closer to me)
