I wanna get close to you baby, as white on white
As close to you baby, as cold is to ice
Close to you baby, as hair on your head
Close to you babe, you better believe what I said

I wanna get close to you, baby
Whoa, let me be close to you
I wanna get so close to this little girl, till she
Don't know what to say or do

I wanna get as close to you baby, as the side of your eye
Close to you baby, as heat is to fire
Close to you baby, how an egg is to hen
Close to you baby, as siamese twins

I wanna get close to you, baby
Whoa, let me get close to you
I wanna get so close to this woman, now, ha
She don't know what to say or do

Closer and closer, baby, now
Closer and closer, baby
Closer and closer, baby
Closer and closer, baby

I wanna to get so close to this woman
Till she don't know what to say or do, yeah

Ah, yeah, let me get closer
I wanna get so close to the girl till she can't even look at me

I wanna be close to you baby, as I can get
Close to you baby, as water is wet
Close to you baby, as fire is to smoke
Close to you baby, as pig is to poke

I wanna get close to you, baby
Whoa, let me get close to you
I wanna get so close to this little girl, till she
Don't know what to say or do
