(They Long to Be) Close to You [feat. Tamia]

Yeah, yeah

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by?

Just like me, they long to be close to you

On the day that you were born, the angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true, yes they did

So they sprinkled moondust in you hair and sunlight in your eyes

Like they do (like they do), do

That is why (that is why) all the guys in town (all of the guys)

Follow you all around

Just, just, just, just, just like me, they long, they long to be

Close to you (close to you), baby, ooh baby (ooh yeah)

If only for a minute (closer), I'll settle for an hour (closer)

And if you could stay just for one day

That would make me so happy, happy, baby

See, it won't hurt to give a love a try (no, no)

Girl, don't you pass me by 'cause I'm that kind of guy

Who's gonna love you (gonna love) and treat you like a queen

That is why all the girls in town

They don't mean nothing, baby

Follow you all around

I only have asked for you

(Just like me) just like me

They long to be close to you (close to you)

I can feel it whenever we touch

And whenever we talk and whenever we walk (together)

All the time (together)

(Close to you)

I wanna be (I wanna be), I wanna be

Come a little closer, babe

Come a little closer, babe

Lay your head upon my shoulder, babe

On my shoulder, babe

Boy, you know I can't deny it

Girl, you know I can't deny it

You done gone and set my soul on fire, baby

How I love to be closer to you, baby

Oh, I can't believe that

I can't believe that we're

Hugging and kissing and squeezing each other

And I am the one to get close to you
