Just to Be Close to You by Lionel Richie

Just to be close to you, girl
Just for a moment, well
Just for an hour
Just to be close to you, girl
Oh yeah
Oh baby

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 worl', 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
Oh that's why I'm standin' here
Singin' and openin' my arms to you
I wanna say, "Child, why don't you"

("Take my hand?")
Oh we'll live and love forever ya
(Take my hand)
Ooh we'll be alone, you and me ya
(Take my hand)
Girl we'll live our lives together yeah together
(Ooo together ya)
Oh oh together
(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
Ooo, 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)
Ahh
Just for an hour
Just for the
