Tell me girl, is this my imagination?
Are you for real?
I can't believe the way you make me feel

Your face, your hair, beauty extraordinary
Beyond compare
I want to get to know you but I'm scared
And that's so rare

Let me be closer (close to you) to you
Let me be closer (close to you) to you, oh babe
I gotta be closer, to learn each perfect part of you
Your mind, your soul, your body, girl

Sight of you feels me with a new emotion
And though I try
I can't conceal this trembling inside
You've got to be mine

Let me be closer (close to you) to you, my dear
Let me be closer (close to you) to you, oh babe
I gotta be closer
Show you the pleasures of my tender touch
Kiss you all over, girl I want you so much

You got my heart burning on fire (burning on fire)
I know you got just what I need
I wanna feel your body, your sweet body next to mine
I wanna take you with me, do what I please
Touch you and taste you
Make love to you over and over and over and over again (close to you)

Let me be closer (close to you) to you, oh babe
I gotta be closer
The thought of your body has got me erect
You do me, I'll do you 'til we're both soaking wet

Hey hey
(Let me be) closer to you, oh babe
(Let me) oh babe (be closer)
Your face, your hair (let me be)
The perfume you wear
(Let me be closer)
I wanna be close to you
(Let me) yeah (be closer)
Said I wanna be close to you
(Let me be closer) oh baby
I wanna kiss you all over
Love you all over, give you what you need (let me be closer)
Do whatever you please
I wanna do all these things, oh baby (let me be closer)
The sight of you
