Lyrics

(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
