The Closer I Get To You

Luther Vandross feat. Beyonce Knowles

The closer I get to you
Ah, the more you make me see
By giving me all you got (tell me more)
Ooh, yeah, your love has captured me
Ey-ey, yeah

Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
But all the while inside, I knew it was real (ooh…)
The way you make me feel…

Hey (ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah…)
Hey, yeah
(And ooh…) ooh, ooh, ooh
(Oh, oh) oh, oh

Lyin' here next to you, oh, huh
Time just seems to fly
Yeah, needing you more and more
More and more, oh…(more and more, oh…)
Let's give love a try (let's give love a try)
I wanna try harder

Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts of love will find
True love (true love) in a special way…way, way (ooh…)

The closer I get (closer I get)
To you, baby
The more you make me see (more you make me see)
Ah, by giving me what you got, mmm, mmm, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, ah, yeah)
You're love…love captured me

Ooh, over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
But all the while inside, I knew this was real
(Got to be real) got to be real
The way you make me feel
(You know, you know, you know)
My baby, my baby, my baby, my love…ooh
(My baby, my baby, my baby, my love, my love, my love, my love, ooh)

Yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Come closer, love]
Come a little closer so that we can see into the eyes of love
(I wanna see into those eyes of love)
[Come closer, love]
Just a little closer let me speak to you
I wanna softly tell you something
(Here I am, here's my love, I just want you to)
[Come closer, love] (yeah)
Come a little closer let me whisper in your ear
Cause I wanna tell you something
(I, I wanna whisper in your ear, so soft, so come closer, love)
[Come closer, love]
Move on in real close so we can celebrate
The way we feel about each other's loving
(Wanna tell you words, words of love, words that make you wanna)
