The Closer I Get To You

[Vocals: Tawatha Agee, James Mtume, both]

[Verse 1]
The closer I get to you, the more you make me see
By giving me all you've got, your love captured me
Over and over again, I try to tell myself
That we could never be more than friends
And all the while inside, I knew it was real
What you made me feel

[Verse 2]
Laying here next to you, time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more, let's give love a try
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And Heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
I say, with hearts of love we'll find
True love in a special way

[Verse 1]
The closer I get to you, the more you make me see
By giving me all you've got, your love has captured me
Over and over again, I try to tell myself
That we could never be more than friends
And all the while inside, I knew it was real
What you made me feel

[Outro]
Ooo child, I love you and I want you to know that
(I said I'm needing you more and more)
More and more, more and more (our love will grow)
I need you everyday (The way you make me feel, yeah)
It's so real, so real... (in a special way)

Ooo child, I love you and I want you to know that
(Just over and over, and over again)
I said I (I tell myself our love will grow)
Our love will grow (hey baby, yeah...)
When we touch, it's real (in a special way, what I feel)

Ooo child, I love you...
