Lyrics Just To Be Close To You (Edit Version (With Vocal Intro)) - The Commodores

Just to be close to you, girl
Just for a moment, well
Just for an hour
Just to be close to you girl, ooh, oh baby

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, then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smooth
You made my, whoo, you made my direction so clear and new
Oh woman, 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
Saying and opening my arms to you
I wanna say, child, why don't you-

Take my hand
We'll be 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
Whoo, together, yeah
Aah, together, together

Just to be close to you, girl
Just for a moment, baby
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
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just to be close to you, girl
Just for a moment (oh, just for a moment)
Just for an hour
Just to be close to you, girl
