The Closer I Get to You (Duet with Luther Vandross)
THE CLOSER I GET TO YOU THE MORE YOU MAKE ME SEE BY GIVING ME ALL YOU’VE GOT (TELL ME MORE) YOUR LOVE HAS CAPTURED ME
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 THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL
LYING HERE NEXT TO YOU TIME JUST SEEMS TO FLY NEEDING YOU MORE AND MORE (MORE AND MORE) LET’S GIVE LOVE A TRY (LET’S GIVE LOVE A TRY)
SWEETER AND SWEETER LOVE GROWS AND HEAVEN’S THERE FOR THOSE WHO FOOL THE TRICKS OF TIME WITH HEARTS OF LOVE WE’LL FIND TRUE LOVE IN A SPECIAL WAY
THE CLOSER I GET (THE CLOSER I GET TO YOU BABY) THE MORE YOU MAKE ME SEE (THE MORE YOU MAKE ME SEE) BY GIVING ME WHAT YOU’VE GOT YOUR LOVE CAPTURES ME
OVER AND OVER AGAIN I TRY TO TELL MYSELF THAT WE COULD NEVER BE MORE THAN FRIENDS AND ALL THE WHILE INSIDE I KNEW THIS WAS REAL (GOT TO BE, GOT TO BE REAL) THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL MY BABY, MY BABY, MY BABY, MY LOVE (MY LOVE, MY LOVE)
COME A LITTLE CLOSER SO THAT WE CAN SEE INTO THE EYES OF LOVE (I WANNA SEE INTO THOSE EYES OF LOVE) JUST A LITTLE CLOSER LET ME SPEAK TO YOU, I WANT TO SOFTLY TELL YOU SOMETHING (HERE I AM, HERE’S MY LOVE, I JUST WANT YOU TOO…COME CLOSER LOVE) COME A LITTLE CLOSER LET ME WHISPER IN YOUR EAR ‘CAUSE I WANNA TELL YOU SOMETHING (I WANNA WHISPER IN YOUR EAR SO SOFT, SO COME CLOSER LOVE) MOVE ON IN REAL CLOSE SO WE CAN CELEBRATE THE WAY WE FEEL ABOUT EACH OTHER’S LOVING (WANNA TO TELL YOU WORDS, WORDS OF LOVE, WORDS THAT MAKE YOU WANNA)
