Closer Than Friends Lyrics by Surface

The Best Of Surface...A Nice Time 4 Lovin’

1988

[Verse 1]
If you don't know how I feel for you
It's time I let all feelings show
I love you and I'll never let you go
No, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Right now we're just friends
But I pray someday you'll surrender
To love so tender
I won't push you
As long as you know that my love is true

[Chorus]
Get closer to you, baby (Hey)
Closer than just friends (I want to)
Get closer to you, baby (Hey)
Closer than just friends
How about you?
How about you?

[Verse 2]
It's hard to explain
When you're close to me
I get a warm sensation inside
I can't deny this
I want to try it
Each and every time you come by

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, I don't wanna lose your love
By putting my cards on the table
You know I'm thankful
For what we have
But I have feelings inside
They're so strong I can't hide

[Chorus]
Get closer to you, baby (I want to)
Closer than just friends
Get closer to you, baby (Yeah)
Closer than just friends
How about you?

[Interlude]
I know you're probably thinking
That you heard this so many times before
But, girl, when you're here
I want you to stay
And when you're gone
I want you even more every day

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, I don't wanna lose your love
By putting my cards on the table
You know I'm thankful
For what we have
But I have feelings inside
They're so strong I can't hide

[Chorus]
Get closer to you, baby (No, baby)
Closer than just friends (They're so strong I can't hide)
Get closer to you, baby (How about you get closer, baby)
Closer than just friends (Closer than friends, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh baby)
Closer than just friends (How about you?)
Get closer to you, baby (How about you?)

[Outro]
Yeah, my baby, my baby, whoa, oh, oh
To you, lady
Hey, yeah
Closer than just friends
Me and you, woo
I want to
How 'bout, 'bout you
Whoa, whoa-oh
There's nothing I won't do
To get close to you (Closer than just friends)
Baby, yeah, hoo
Closer, my baby (Closer than just friends)
Nothing I won't do to get close to you, ooh, baby, yeah
