Nearer to You
Allen Toussaint
[Verse 1]
I may do things you don't understand
But remember, I'm only doing the best I can
Every little thing I do, I'm just trying to get closer to you
[Verse 2]
I'm sorry if I seem, ooh yeah, a little bit stubborn sometimes
I hope I'm not being a nuisance to you
I know you say that you will be home soon
I've got to be nearer, nearer to you
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
Every little thing I do, I'm just trying to get closer to you
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
Every little thing I do, I'm just trying to get closer to you
I've got to be nearer, nearer to you
I've got to be nearer, nearer to you
Oh, I've got to be nearer, nearer to you
