Just to Be Close to You

Just to be close to you, girl
Just for a moment, well just for an hour
Just to be close to you, girl
Oh well ah baby

Ah you know I've been through so many changes in my life girl
Aw I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody
Aw and then again I've been down real low where
There was no one in my life who needed me
Aw and I found that material things I, I thought had so much value
Aw girl didn't really have any value at all

That 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, for me
Aw girl then you, then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smooth
You made my, you made my direction so clear and you aw woman
You became my purpose my reason for livin' girl

You see you're my heart, you're soul
You're my stone inspiration, baby

And for some folks it takes a lifetime, sugar
To find in this world a dream come true

To whisper words that make you feel like a woman
