Closer Lyrics by Shalamar

The Look

0

[Intro: Shalamar]
Closer, closer, closer, closer

[Verse 1: Howard Hewett]
I would like to see you in another way
Friendship is fine
But passion's got to have it's day
For you and I

[Pre-Chorus: Howard Hewett]
I've been abiding my time
Warming up to your heart
At last, I've broken the ice
Soon, our emotions will provide the common ground
Then it's all about the loving, baby

[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
And I'm gettin' (Closer)
Closer to your lovin' (Closer)
Hoo, that's right (Closer)
Closer to the lovin', baby (Closer)

[Verse 2: Howard Hewett]
I, I get this feeling when there's something real taking over me
I know you think that you should call and make me want to deal
Ooh baby

[Pre-Chorus: Howard Hewett]
I'm well aware of distraction
The emotional tug of war
Hey girl, between sex and love
Though I may fear rejection
I yearn for our connection
And I bet my bottom dollar, baby

[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
We're gettin' (Closer)
Closer to the lovin' (Closer)
You and I, that's right (Closer)
Closer to the lovin', oh-hoo (Closer)

[Bridge: Howard Hewett]
I like it when you're next to me, baby
Oh, mhm, a little closer
I can be good to you, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ain't nothin' wrong if love is right, come on
That's what you feel, my love is real, so come on, come on
Got to get closer to your sweet love
Oh little girl, I long for your tender kiss
I got to get next to you

[Pre-Chorus: Howard Hewett]
I'm here when you're ready
Girl, you won't regret it
We oughta be making love
And you know the time is right for love

[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
Come on, girl let's get just a little bit closer, yeah (Closer)
Closer to the lovin' (Closer)
That's right (Closer)
Said it's all about the lovin' (Closer)
Give it to me baby, hey (Closer)
Closer, closer (Closer)
Girl, you're growing on me, yeah (Closer)
I got to get closer (Closer)

[Outro: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
I like it when you're next to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Close, closer
Ooh, baby, oh
Tease me, baby (Closer)
Closer to your lovin' (Closer)
Feels so right, just you and me tonight (Closer)
Closer to your lovin' (Closer)
