Closer Than Close - Luniz

She'll read your mind She's smart as a whip She'll suck you dry But look at how much I drip? At the point of ecstasy I write a symphony Of poetry in motion And leavin' me there to die I tell myself let no one take her place To confide in someone And look at how much I paid? I want you next to me Call it telepathy We drifted into vision And look at how much we see? Ahh, ah ahh I just wanna get closer than close to you I know that one way or the other Any test of my faith will do And lovers fall for lovers' friends We make each other cry Livin' in each others lives And tryin' to make the fantasy come true I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby I just wanna get closer than close to you Your soul is naked It tells you what you want I read your letter And look at how close I've come There's more for us to see In this philosophy We both end up in Heaven And look at how close we'd be Ahh, ah ahh I just wanna get closer than close to you I know that one way or the other Any test of my faith will do I give my heart for you to break I give my final breath Nothin' last forever see We can turn eternity into I just wanna get closer than close to you And the moment you discover What the best of my love can do And lovers fall for lovers' friends We make each other cry Livin' in each others lives And tryin' to make the fantasy come true I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby I just wanna get closer than close to you I just wanna get closer than close to you (I just wanna get closer than close to you) And the moment you discover What the best of my love can do (my love) Baby, I just wanna get closer than close to you (I just wanna get closer than close to you) And I know that one way or the other Any test of my faith will do (My love) Baby I just wanna get closer than close to you
