Get Closer Lyrics

Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin', if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

There's a line, I can't cross over
It's no good for me and it's no good for you

And there's a feelin', deep down inside me
I can't explain it and you're wondering why
You say we've been like strangers
But I'm not the others you can wrap 'round your fingers

Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin', if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

There was a time when I would come runnin'
Drop everything for the touch of your hand in mine

You were blind
And now you regret it
'Cause I can't forget it
It's locked in my mind

I can't go on livin'
Day to day wondering if we'll be here tomorrow
People change and you're changin'
And I've given you my all
There's no more to borrow

Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be (if you want me to be)
Closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' (darlin'), if you want me to be (if you want me to be)
Closer to you, get closer to me (closer, closer)
Darlin' (darlin'), if you want me to be (if you want me to be)
Closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' (darlin'), if you want me to be

Intone My Servant

Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin', if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

There's a line, I can't cross over
It's no good for me and it's no good for you

And there's a feelin', deep down inside me
I can't explain it and you're wondering why
You say we've been like strangers
But I'm not the others you can wrap 'round your fingers

Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin', if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

There was a time when I would come runnin'
Drop everything for the touch of your hand in mine

You were blind
And now you regret it
'Cause I can't forget it
It's locked in my mind

I can't go on livin'
Day to day wondering if we'll be here tomorrow
People change and you're changin'
And I've given you my all
There's no more to borrow

Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be (if you want me to be)
Closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' (darlin'), if you want me to be (if you want me to be)
Closer to you, get closer to me (closer, closer)
Darlin' (darlin'), if you want me to be (if you want me to be)
Closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' (darlin'), if you want me to be

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
