Just to be close to you, girl
Just for the moment (well)
Just for an hour
Just to be close to you, girl, yeah
Oh, well
Aw, baby
Ow
You know, I've been through so many changes in my life, girl
Aw, I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody
Aw, and then again, I've been down real low where there was no one
In my life who needed me
Aw, and I found that, uh, material things I thought had so much value
Aw, girl, didn't really have any value at all
Then 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
Aw, girl, then you, then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smooth
You made my, whoo, my direction so clear
And you, aw, woman, you became my purpose, my reason for living
Girl, you see, you're my heart, you're my soul, you're my stone inspiration, baby
Aw, that's why I'm standing here singing and opening my arms to you
I wanna say, child, why don't you
Take my hand
Aw, we'll live and love forever, yeah
Take my hand
Mm, we'll be alone, you and me, yeah
Take my hand
Girl, we'll live our lives together, yeah
Together (mm, together, yeah)
Aw, aw, aw, together (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, hey
Mm, hum, hum, mm
Mm, mm, mm
I've been out there searching so very long, baby
Searching to find somebody just like you
And for some folks, it takes a lifetime, sugar
To have in this world a dream come true
Why don't you
Take my hand
Oh, we'll live and 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)
Aw, aw, aw, together (oh, yeah, oh, yeah, together)
Aw
Just to be close to you, girl
Just for the moment (aw, just for the moment)
Ow, just for an 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 shoo-doo-doo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Eh, girl, I wanna say closer and closer
My heart is still burning
Girl, you got me yearning for your love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
