Let Me Get Close to You
Skeeter Davis · The Pop Hits Collection (Taragon) [2003]
I know I never felt this way before
I can't remember I ever wanted anyone more
How can you turn me down when I need you the way that I do
Come on baby let me get close to you
Oh, you won't be sorry
I'll do anything that you ask of me
I'll be the kind of girl you want me to be
So won't you let me be the someone you tell your troubles to
Come on baby let me get close to you.
How long I'll never know
I waited to tell you that I love you so
Now I have finally said it
Come on baby don't make regret it.
It's not as if I'm asking for the world
All I want is just a chance to be your girl
So won't you find it in your heart to make all my dreams come true
Come on baby let me get close to you.
--- Instrumental ---
Please find it in your heart to make all my dreams come true
Come on baby let me get close to you
I want to be close to you
Real close to you, let me get close to you...
