Get Closer Lyrics

Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin', if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

There's a line, I can't cross over
It's no good for me and it's no good for you

And there's a feelin', deep down inside me
I can't explain it and you're wondering why
You say we've been like strangers
But I'm not the others you can wrap 'round your fingers

Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin', if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

There was a time when I would come runnin'
Drop everything for the touch of your hand in mine

You were blind
And now you regret it
'Cause I can't forget it
It's locked in my mind
And I can't go on livin'
Day to day wondering if we'll be here tomorrow
People change and you're changin'
And I've given you my all
There's no more to borrow
Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be (If you want me to be)
Closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' (Darlin'), if you want me to be (If you want me to be)
Closer to you, get closer to me (Closer, closer)
Darlin' (Darlin'), if you want me to be (If you want me to be)
Closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' (Darlin'), if you want me to be

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
