Closer To Me
Olivia Newton-John · Back with a Heart [1998]
But what can I do if your heart won't let her go
There are times I mean everything to you
Life can be so sweet when I do
You know
You gotta know
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me
(Get a little bit, a little bit closer)
I beg you for the truth but I don't wanna hear it
You pour it all out then I won't go near it
Oh no, oh no
But I believe you're gonna love me again
So I'll try to make it easier 'til then
You know
You gotta know
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me
Are you gonna break away, set yourself free
Let me see the kind of man that I used to see
Make yourself open up, let it all go
If you're really mine again, let this crazy fool know
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me
(Get a little bit, a little bit closer)
I wanna be closer
I wanna go back where we used to be
Oh baby, please get close to me
Get a little bit closer
I wanna be closer
I gotta be closer
