Just to Be Close to You Songtext
von Commodores

Just to be close to you girl
Just for a moment, well just for an hour
Just to be close to you girl
Oh well, oh baby, baby, oh

You know I′ve been through so many changes in my life girl
Oh, I've been up real high where I thought I didn′t need anybody
Oh, and then again I've been down real low where
There was no one in my life who needed me
Oh, and I found that material things I thought had so much value
Oh, girl didn't really have any value at all

There 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, for me
Oh, girl then you, then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smooth
You made my direction so clear and you, oh, woman
You became my purpose, my reason for livin′ girl


You see you′re my heart, you're soul
You′re my stone inspiration
Baby, oh, that's why I′m standin' here singin′
And opening my arms to you

I wanna say, child, why don't you?
(Take my hand) oh, we'll live in love forever, yeah
(Take my hand) ooh, we′ll be alone you and me yeah
(Take my hand) girl, we′ll live our lives together, yeah together
Hm, 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, hey, ooh

I've been out there searchin′ so very long baby
Searchin' to find somebody just like you
And for some folks it takes a lifetime sugar
To find in this world, a dream come true

Why don′t you
(Take my hand) oh, we'll live in love forever yeah
(Take my hand) girl, we′ll be alone you and me
(Take my hand) we'll spend our lives together
Together, together, together


Just to be close to you girl
Just for the moment (oh, just for the moment) just for the 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
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey girl, I wanna say
Closer and closer, girl please hold me closer
My arms are still burning
Girl, you got me yearnin' for your love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
