Seals & Crofts Get Closer Lyrics:
[Seals:]
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you,
Get closer to me.
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you,
Get closer to me.
[Both:]
Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you,
Then love only me.
Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you,
Then see only me.
[Seals:]
There's a line,
I can't cross over.
It's no good for me,
[Both:]
And it's no good for you.
[Crofts:]
And there's a feelin',
Deep down inside me.
I can't explain it,
And you're wondering why.
Wo-oh-oh-aye.
[Both with backup singers:]
You say we've been like strangers,
But I'm not the others,
You can wrap 'round your fingers.
[Both:]
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you,
Get closer to me.
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you,
Get closer to me.
Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you,
Then love only me.
Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you,
Then see only me.
[Seals:] There was a time,
[Crofts:] Yeah, baby.

[Crofts:] Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo,
[Seals:] Drop everything,
[Both:] For the touch of your hand in mine.
[Crofts:] Ooo-hoo-ooo-ooo-ooo.
You were blind and now you regret it,
'Cause I can't forget it,
It's locked in my mind.
Ah-ah-ah-whoo'-ooo.
[Both with backup singers:]
And I can't go on livin'
Day to day, wond'rin' if you'll be here (tomorrow).
People change and you're changin',
[Seals with backup singers:]
And I've given you my all,
There's no more to borrow, oh-oh-oh.
[Both with backup singers:]
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you,
Get closer to me.
Darlin' if you want me to be,
(If you want me to be,)
Closer to you,
Get closer to me.
Darlin' (darlin'),
If you want me to be,
[Fade.]
(If you want me to be,)
Closer to you,
Get closer to me.
(Closer, closer,)
Darlin' (darlin'),
If you want me to be,
(If you want me to be,)
(Closer to you,)
(Get closer to me...)
[CLOSER TO YOU]
