Commodores - Just To Be Close To You - Edit Version (With Vocal Intro) lyrics

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, baby You know I've been through so many changes in my life girl I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody And then again I've been down real low where There was no one in my life who needed me And I found that material things I thought had so much value Oh girl didn't really have any value at all Then 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 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 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, oh that's why I'm standin' here singin' And opening my arms to you I wanna say child why don't you Take my hand? Oh we'll live in love forever Yeah take my hand, we'll be alone, you and me yeah Take my hand Girl, we'll live our lives together, yeah together Together, yeah together Just to be close to you girl Just for the moment baby, well just for an hour Just to be close to you girl, hey I've been out there searchin' so very long baby Searchin' to find somebody just like you And for some folks it takes a lifetime, sugar To find in this world a dream come true Why don't you take my hand? Oh, we'll live in love forever yeah Take my hand girl, we'll be alone you and me Take my hand we'll spend our lives together Together, together, oh oh together, together Just to be close to you girl Just for the moment, just for the moment, just for the hour Just to be close to you girl I need you baby To make love, to be loved by you baby To have your warm body close to mine To whisper words that make you feel like a woman Girl I know our love will stand the test of time Just to be close to you girl For the moment baby, for the moment baby For the moment baby For the sugar, sugar, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, and girl I want to say Just to be close to you, please hold me closer My arms are still burnin' girl Ya got me yearnin' for your love Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
