Lyrics

[Chorus]
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darling, if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me
[Verse 1]
Oh, there's a line I can't cross over
It's no good for me and it's no good for you
And there's a feeling, deep down inside me
I can't explain it and you're wondering why
Ooh, you say we've been like strangers
But I'm not the others you can wrap 'round your fingers
[Chorus]
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darling, if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me
[Verse 2]
There was a time when you would come runnin'
You dropped everything for the touch of your hand in mine
Oh, I was blind and now I regret it
'Cause I can't forget it, it's locked in my mind
And I can't go on living
Day to day wondering if you'll be here tomorrow
People change and you're changing
And I've given you my all, there's no more to borrow
[Chorus]
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to, closer, closer
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
[Outro]
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darling, if you want me to be
