"(They Long To Be) Close To You" lyrics - GERALD LEVERT
[Gerald:]
Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
Just like me they long to be close to you.
[Tamia:]
Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by?
Just like me they long to be close to you
Oh yeah
[Gerald:]
On the day that you were born, the angles got together
And decided to create a dream come true
Yes they did
[Tamia:]
So they sprinkled moon dust in you hair and sunlight in your eye
Like they do
(Like they do) do
[Gerald:]
That is why (that is why)
All the guys in town (all of the guys)
Follow you all around
[Both:]
Just, Just, Just, Just, Just like me they long they long to be
[Gerald:]
close to you
[Tamia:]
close to you
[Both:]
If only for a minute, (closer) ill settle for an hour (closer) and
If you can stay just for one day that would make me so happy,
Happy baby
[Gerald:]
See it won't hurt to give a love a try girl don't you past
Me by 'cause I'm that kind of guy who's gonna love you
(Gonna love) and treat you like a queen
[Tamia:]
That is why all the girls in town (they don't mean nothing baby)
Follow you all around
Just like me (just like me)
They long to be close to you
[Both:]
I can feel it when ever we touch,
and whenever we talk and whenever we walk
[Background:]
Together,
[Background:]
Together
[Gerald:]
close to you
[Gerald:]
I want to be
[Tamia:]
I want to be
[Gerald:]
I want to be
Come a little closer babe
[Tamia:]
Come a little closer babe
[Gerald:]
Lay your head up on my shoulder
[Tamia:]
On my shoulder baby
[Tamia:]
Boy you know I can't deny it
[Gerald:]
Girl you know I can't deny it
[Tamia:]
You done gone and set my soul on fire
[Gerald:]
How I love to be closer to you baby
[Gerald:]
Oh I can't believe
[Tamia:]
I can't believe that were
[Both:]
Hugging and kissing and squeezing each other
And I am the one to get close to you
