Lyrics Just To Be Close To You - The Commodores

Just to be close to you girl
Just for a moment, well for just an hour
Just to be close to you girl
Oh well, ah baby ooh
Oh, you know I've been through so many changes
In my life girl

Oh, I've been up real high
Where I thought I didn't need anybody
Oh, and then again I've been down
Real low where there was no one
In my life who needed me
Oh, I found that material things
I thought had so much value
Oh girl didn't have any value at all
That 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
Then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smooth
You made my direction so clear
And you woman became my purpose
My reason for living girl
You see you're my heart
You're my soul, You're my strong inspiration baby
Oh, that's why I'm standin here singing
And opening my arms to you

I wanna say child why don't you
Take my hand ah, we'll live in love forever yeah
Take my hand ooh, we'll be alone
You and me yeah
Take my hand girl
We'll live our lives together yeah
Together (together) yeah together
Just to be close to you girl
Just for a moment, well just for an hour
Just to be close to you girl (hey ooh)
I've been out there searching so very long baby
Searchin' to find somebody just like you
And for some folks it takes a lifetime sugar
To find this world a dream come true

Why don't you
Take my hand
Oh we live in love forever (yeah)
Take my hand girl, we'll be alone you and me
Take my hand we'll spend our lives together
(Together together together)
Together, together
Just to be close to you girl
Just for the moment(just for the moment)
Just for the 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
For the moment baby, for the moment baby
For the moment baby
For the sugar, sugar, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey girl I wanna say
Closer and closer girl please hold me closer
My arms are still burning
Girl, you got me yearning for your love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
