Lyrics

Ooh Oh-oh Yeah Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, ooh Are we lovers forever Or just borrowing days? I know when we're together Feels like something that should last always Temporary temptation Or a permanent joy Should I make preparation To be cast aside like a broken toy? I don't know, tell you, I don't know All I know is that I love the nearness of you Ooh, baby I don't know, tell you, I don't know All I know is that I love the nearness of you Ooh, baby From the middle of nowhere Through the outskirts of bliss To the inroads of heaven When my lips feel your kiss Just how far have I traveled? Where have you taken me? Will love's riddle unravel Or forever be a mystery? I don't know, tell you, I don't know All I know is that I love the nearness of you Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know All I know is that I love the nearness of you Oh, baby, baby, baby Ooh, I love the nearness of you, baby, yeah Ooh, if we ever got parted I'd be lost, that's a fact How we ever got started Well, as I look back to be exact I don't know, tell you, I don't know All I know is that I love the nearness of you Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know All I know is that I love the nearness of you, ooh I don't know too much about it But I know, I can't do without it I know I love, I love the nearness of you, yeah I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I know is that I love the nearness of you, baby, oh I love the nearness of you, baby, yeah (I love the nearness of you, baby) Ooh, I love the nearness of you, ooh (it's okay) I don't know too much about it But I know I can't do without it I know, I know, I love the nearness of you, baby, ooh
