Just to be close to you, girl

just for a moment, well,

just for an hour

just to be close to you girl



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 me



oh girl then you came into my life

you made my jagged edges smoothe

you made my direction so clear

and you oh women you became my purpose

my reason for living girl you see



you're my heart, you're my soul

you're my strong inspiration baby

that's why i'm standing here

singing and opening my arms to you

i wanna say child, why dont you



take my hand,

oh we'll live and love forever

take my hand,

ooh we'll be alone you and me

take my hand

girl we'll live our lives together

yeah 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

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 sugar sugar yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah



just to be close to you girl

just for the moment (fade
