Close to You Love

I wanna be close to you baby
I wanna be close to you baby

Well, telephone, telegram, and a love letter
Hey, baby
I can drop a dime (Drop a dime, drop a dime, drop a dime)
Girl, write you a line
When I just can't do no better
Oh, but all this modern communication
Gee, ain't no good in this old situation
Great big moon is shining up above
This old heart of mine crying out for you

I wanna be close to you, love (Close to you, baby)
Oh, I wanna be, yes I do (Close to you)
Girl, I wanna be nearby you (Close to you)
Oh, close to you, love
So I can tell you just how much I need you, my love
Why don't you listen to me, listen here

A super plane, a real fast train, or a speedy car
Hey, hey, baby
Will get you there with time to spare
If I just had the fare, you know I'd come to you, baby
Ooh-wee, this modern transportation
Ain't much good in this old situation
Rain falling on my roof above
Girl, I can't sleep for dreaming of
Getting close to you, love (Close to you, baby)

Oh, I wanna be somewhere around you (Close to you)
Girl, let me be, oh yeah (Close to you)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Just let me get close to you, love
And I can show you all the love you've been missing
Yeah, I wanna be close to you, love
So that I can be somewhere around you
