Just To Be Close To You Lyrics - Singles - Lionel Richie & The Commodores

Just to be close to you, girl 

Just for a moment, well 

Just for an hour 

Just to be close to you, girl 

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 

Oh 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, oh woman you became my purpose 

My reason for living, girl, you see 

You're my heart, you're my soul, you're my strong inspiration, baby 

That's why I'm standing here 

Singing and opening my arms to you 

I want to say, child, why don't you 

Take my hand 

Oh, we'll live and love forever, yea 

Take my hand 

Ooh, we'll be alone you and me 

Take my hand 

Girl, we'll live our lives together, yeah together 

Ooh, 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 

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-yeah, just to be close to you, girl 

Just for the moment, oh, just for the moment
