Close To You

The Doors · Other Songs - The Doors

I want to get close to you, baby, like black on white

Close to you, baby, like the coldest of ice

Close to you, baby, like a Siamese twin

Close to you, baby, like I'm feeling alright



I want to get close to you, baby

Well, close to you, baby

Close to you, baby

I don't know what to say or do



I want to get close to you, baby, like the sight of your eye

Close to you, baby, like the heat is to fire

Close to you, baby, close as I can get

Close to you, baby, like the water is wet



I want to get close to you, baby

I said, close to you, baby

Close to you, baby

Don't know what to say or do



I want to get close to you, baby, till I'm feeling alright

Close to you, baby, gonna love you all night

Close to you, baby, in the New York City

I love you so much, poor man, you know it's so pity



I want to get close to you, baby

I said, close to you, baby

I want to get close to you, baby

Don't know what to say or do, well



I want to get closer and closer, baby

Closer and closer, baby

Closer and closer, baby

Closer and closer, baby



I want to get close to you, baby

I don't know what to say or do



Well, closer and closer, baby

Closer and closer, baby

Closer and closer, baby

Closer and closer, baby



I want to get close to you, baby

Oh, baby, we love you and you make me feel alright

Make me feel alright, make Roby feel alright

And you make Jon feel alright and you make Jim feel alright



And we want to love you so much till you

And I don't know what to say or do
