I want to be close to you baby as I can get
Close to you baby as water is wet
Close to you baby as a hair on your head
Close to you babe you better believe what I said

I want to be close to you baby
Yeah let me be close to you
I want to be close to you darlin'
'til you don't know what to say or do

I want to be close to you baby as white is to rice
Close to you baby as cold is to ice
Close to you baby as a fire is to smoke
Close to you baby as a pig is to pork
I want to be close to you baby
Wo let me be close to you
I want to be close to you darlin'

'Til you don't know what to say or do

I said closer and closer baby
Closer and closer baby haha
Closer and closer baby
Closer and closer baby
I want to be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I want to be close to you baby as the whites of your eyes
Close to you baby as cold is to ice
Close to you baby as an egg is to a hen
Close to you baby as Siamese twins

I want to be close to you baby
Whoa let me be close to you
I want to be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do
