Lyrics

The Closer I Get

You look at me. But what can I do?
You’re not free. I see him watching you to figure it out.

The closer I get to you
The more I like what I see
The closer I get to you
The closer I wanna be.

We make love. But only with our eyes.
It makes it tough. But it’s a fair disguise to carry out.

The closer I get to you
The more I like what I see
The closer I get to you
The closer I wanna be.

There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do to have you
But I don’t like those games he makes us play
The feelings I get puts my heart to the test
For the words that I want to say

I can’t let go. I’ve got to make my move.
I want you to know. I’ve got to speak my news.
I’m letting it out!

The closer I get to you
The more I like what I see
The closer I get to you
The closer I wanna be.
