Lyrics Nearer To You - Remastered 2022 - Bettye LaVette



I may do things, but you don't understand
Please, remember I'm doing the very best I can
Everything I do, just trying to get closer to you, oh
Nearer, nearer, nearer, nearer to you
I'm sorry, so sorry if I seem a little stubborn sometimes (closer to you)
I sure do hope I've being a nuisance to you
I know just what you said
You said you'd be back home soon
Oh, oh (close, close, closer to you), close to you
Oh, oh-oh-, I wanna be close to you, daddy
Oh, oh, oh-oh-, to get next to you
And that's why
Every thing you see me do, is all just to get closer to you, oh
Nearer, nearer, nearer, nearer, nearer to you (nearer to you)
My every prayer is just to be your eye (closer to you)
That's why I do everything I can to get you into my life
Oh, every dawn most thing you see me do
It's just to get a little closer to you, oh
Oh-oh, oh (close, close, closer to you) wanna be close to you
Oh, oh, oh (close, close, closer to you)
Let me get close to you
Oh daddy, oh daddy (close, close, closer to you), oh, let me be close to you
