(They Long To Be) Close To You
|
Feat. Tamia
|
|
[Levert]
|
Why do birds suddenly appear
|
Everytime you are near
|
Just like me, they long to be
|
Close to you
|
|
[Tamia]
|
Why do stars fall down from the sky
|
Everytime you walk by
|
Just like me, they long to be
|
Close to you
|
|
[Levert]
|
On the day that you were born
|
The angels got together
|
And decided to create a dream come true
|
Yes, they did
|
|
[Tamia]
|
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
|
And sunlight in your eyes, like they do
|
|
[Levert]
|
Like they do (Do)
|
That is why (That is why)
|
All the guys in town
|
Follow you all around
|
|
[Both] Just just just just just like me
|
They long, they long to be
|
[Levert]Close to you, baby
|
[Tamia] Close to you
|
[Levert]Oh baby
|
|
[Both] If only for a minute
|
I'd settle for an hour
|
And if you could stay just for one day
|
That would make me so happy, happy baby
|
|
[Levert]
|
See it won't hurt to give another try (No, no)
|
But don't you pass me by
|
Cuz I'm that kind of guy
|
Who's gonna love (Gonna love)
|
And treat you like a queen
|
|
[Tamia] That is why all the girls in town
|
[Levert]They don't mean nothin' baby
|
[Tamia] Follow you all around
|
[Levert]I only have eyes for you girl
|
[Tamia] Just like me
|
[Levert]Just like me
|
[Tamia] They long to be
|
[Both] close to you
|
|
[Both] I can feel it whenever we touch it
|
Whenever we talk it, whenever we want
|
|
Together all the time
|
Together close to you
|
I wanna be
|
I wanna be
|
I wanna be
|
|
[Levert]Come a little closer baby
|
[Tamia] Come a little closer baby
|
[Levert]Lay your head up on my shoulder babe
|
[Tamia] On my shoulder babe
|
|
[Tamia] Boy you know I can't deny it
|
[Levert]Girl you know i can't deny
|
[Tamia] YOu done gone and set my soul on fire, baby
|
|
[Levert]How I long to be closer to ya baby
|
Oh I can't believe that
|
[Tamia] I can't believe it
|
[Both] We're huggin' and kissin' and squeezin' each other
|
And I am the one to get close to you
|
