Aaron Sledge - Closer lyrics

rate me

[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]
