[Intro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
It's a jungle out there they say
Filled with superstition
Get on your knees and pray
If you pay maybe she'll listen
It's a struggle out there they tell me
Love comes with conditions
I tried to send a solution
But it got lost in transition
[Pre-Chorus]
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Fell for the same things twice
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Forgot my own advice
[Chorus]
The closer I get to you, baby
The closer I get to know myself
The closer I get to you, baby
The more that I don't need no one else
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
The closer I get
[Verse 2]
It is what it is, you tell me
Like nobody ever changed their mind
I'm too high to get my own place
I'm too scared to leave my friends behind
[Pre-Chorus]
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Fell for the same things twice
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Forgot my own advice
[Chorus]
The closer I get to you, baby
The closer I get to know myself
The closer I get to you, baby
The more that I don't need no one else
[Post-Chorus]
The closer I get
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Besties forever, lived in a backseat
Connie in the front
Strange day in LA, rain on the 101
I took ride to my lil' boo
Show her I could stunt
She said, "Let's go the extra mile, you might just be the one"
Be the one (Ah-ooh)
[Chorus]
The closer I get to you, baby
The closer I get to know myself
The closer I get to you, baby
The more that I don't need no one else
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
