Just to be close to you, girl Just for a moment, well, Just for an hour Just to be close to you girl I was a lonely man A man with no direction With no purpose With no one to love And no one to love me, for me Oh girl then you came into my life You made my jagged edges smoothe You made my direction so clear And you oh women you became my purpose My reason for living girl you see You're my heart, you're my soul You're my strong inspiration baby That's why I'm standing here Singing and opening my arms to you I wanna say child, why don't you Take my hand, Oh we'll live and love forever Take my hand, Ooh we'll be alone you and me Take my hand Girl we'll live our lives together Yeah together Just to be close to you, girl Just for the moment baby, Well just for an hour Just to be close to you, girl I need you baby To make love, to be loved by you baby To have your warm body close to mine To whisper words that make you feel like a woman Girl I know our love will stand the test of time Just to be close to you girl For the moment baby (for the moment baby, for the moment baby) For the sugar sugar yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Just to be close to you girl Just for the moment (fade)
