closer than friends lyrics

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

Right now, we're just friends
But I pray some day you'll surrender to love so tender
I won't push you
As long as you know that my love is true

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?

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

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

Get closer to you, baby
I want to get closer than just friends
Get closer to you, baby, yeah
Closer than just friends, how about you?

I know you're probably thinkin'
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

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

(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

How about you?
(Get closer to you, baby, yeah)
How about you? My baby, my baby
To you, lady

Closer than just friends
Me and you
I want to
How about, about you?

Nothing I won't do
To get close to you, baby
