Aaron Sledge - Closer lyrics

[Verse 1:] Yes I'm just watching my step, Trying not to upset you, And I'm just being careful, With everything that I say and do, I don't wanna do anything if it's not approved, Cause you're my gold and my mission, My every intention is you... [Chorus:] So what I'm gonna do is do, What I gotta do to please you, If it means giving all myself, I gotta do, just to get next to you, I gotta do... You know I need to be, Want to be, Gotta be, Closer to you, Is this what I need to do, I don't know how can I ever say, That I'll please you, Oh lord it's not about me no more I need to be, Want to be, Gotta be Closer to you (It's what you called me to, It's what you expect me to) I don't know exactly what You would do if you were in my shoes I'm gonna be closer to you Hmm hmmm closer to you... Ooh ooh Hmm hmmm closer to you... [Verse 2:] As I inch my way Closer to your will I can't wait (Noo noo) It seems the closer I get, Father you seem so far away (So far away) But I will keep pressing cause I have to, Crawling cause I want you Reaching cause I need you (Reaching cause I need you) I'm not ever gonna stop cause I love you (Oh lord) And if I had to I couldn't find nobody to replace you [Chorus] [Bridge:] Lord I can't go anywhere if you're not there Lord I can't speak a word if I don't hear you clear I'm just saying Lord I want be close to thee, Every hour, every day I need thee, So draw me near, near to you, I gotta be, Close to thee, Closer than most, Cause I need you, closer than close, Cause I need to feel you breathe on me, Lord, breathe... [Chorus]
