(They Long To Be) Close To You
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.

Gerald:
On the day that you were born the angels got together & decided to create a dream come true.

Tamia:
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair and starlight in your eyes, like they do.

Gerald:
That is why all the guys in town follow you all around, just, just, just, just, just, just like me...they long to be close to you.

Both:
If only for a minute, I'd settle for an hour & if you could stay just for one day that would make me so happy, happy baby.

Gerald:
See it won't hurt to give another try, but don't you pass me by cause I'm that kind of guy whose gonna love ya and treat you like a queen.

Tamia:
That is why all the girls in town follow you all around; just like me they long to be close to you.

Both:
I can feel it whenever we're touching, whenever we're talking whenever we walk together, all the time, together, close to you.

I wanna be, I wanna be. Come a little closer baby, come a little closer baby. Lay your head upon my shoulder baby, on my shoulder baby.

Boy you know I can't deny it. Girl you know I can't deny it. You done gone & set my soul on fire. How I long to be closer to you baby, oh I can't believe that we're hugging and kissing and squeezing each other & I am the one to get close to you.
