Close To You Love

Jerry Butler, Leon Huff, Kenneth Gamble, Gamble & Huff

I wanna be close to you baby
I wanna be close to you baby

Well telephone, telegram, and a love letter, hey baby
I can drop a dime
Girl, write you a line
But it just can't do no better

Oh, it's more than communication
Teasing ain't no good in this whole situation
Hey big moon shining up above
This old heart of mine cries out for you
I wanna be close to you love

Oh, I wanna be, yes I do (close to you love)
Girl, I wanna be, here by you (I wanna be close to you love)
Oh, oh, oh, close to you love (close to you love)
So I can tell ya (I wanna be close to you love)
Just how much I need you my love
I wanna be close to you love

Why don't ya listen to me? Listen here

A simple plane, a real fast train, or a speedy car, hey baby
Will get you there with time to spare
But just had the fare, you know I'd come to you baby

Oh, need just more than transportation
Ain't much good in this whole situation
Rain falling on my roof above
Girl, I can't sleep but dreaming of
Getting close to you love

Oh, I wanna be somewhere around ya (close to you love)
Girl, let me be, oh yeah (I wanna be close to you love)
Hey, hey, hey, hey (close to you love)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (I wanna be close to you love)
Just let me get close to you love
I could show ya
All the love you've been missing
