(they Long To Be) Close To You

Ooh hoo, ooh hoo

Yeah, yeah



Why do birds suddenly appear

Everytime you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you



Why do stars fall down from the sky

Every time you walk by? oh

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

(Yeah, ooh)

Ooh yeah



On the day that you were born

The angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

Yes they did

So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair

And starlight in your eyes, like they do

(Like they do)

Do



That is why

(That is why)

All the guys in town

(All of the guys)

Follow you, all around

(Ooh yeah)

Just, just, just, just, just like me

They long, they long to be, close to you baby

(Close to you, ooh yeah )

Ooh baby



If only for a minute

(Closer)

I'd settle for an hour

(Closer)

And if you could stay, just for one day

That would make me so happy, happy baby



See it won't hurt to give our love a try

(So no)

Girl don't you pass me by

'Cuz I'm that kind of guy

(Closer)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Who's gonna love and treat you like a Queen

(Gonna love)

(Ooh)

Hmm



That is why all the girls in town

(They don't mean nothin' baby)

Follow you all around

(I only have best for you, girl)

Just like me

(Just like me)

They long to be

Close to you

(Close to you)



I can feel it whenever

We touchin' whenever

We talkin' whenever we want

(Together)

All the time

(Together)

Ooh

(Close to you)

I wanna be, I wanna be, hoo

(I wanna be, hoo)



Come a little closer baby

(Come a little closer baby)

Lay your head upon my shoulder baby

(Upon my shoulder babe)

Boy you know I can't deny it

(Girl you know I can't deny it)

You done, gonna set my soul on fire, baby

(Hmm, I would like to be closer to you, baby)

Oh, I can't believe that

(I can't believe it)

We're huggin' and kissin'

An' squeezin' each other

An' I don't want to

Get close to you
