Close to You Lyrics

I wanna be close to you baby, as I can get
Close to you baby, as water is wet
Close to you baby, as the hair on your head
Close to you baby, you better believe what I said

I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah, let me be close to you
I wanna be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I wanna be close to you baby, as white is to rice
Close you you baby, as cold is to ice
Close you you baby, as fire is to smoke
Close you you baby, as a pig is to pork
I wanna be close to you baby
Whoa, let me be close to you
I wanna be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I said closer and closer, baby
Closer and closer, baby - ha ha
Closer and closer, baby
Closer and closer, baby
I wanna be close to you, darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I wanna be close to you baby, as the whites of your eyes
Close to you baby, as cold is to ice
Close to you baby, as an egg is to a hen
Close you baby, as Siamese twins

I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah, let me be close to you
I wanna be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I'm Leaving You (Commit a Crime)

I wanna be close to you baby, as I can get
Close to you baby, as water is wet
Close to you baby, as the hair on your head
Close to you baby, you better believe what I said

I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah, let me be close to you
I wanna be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I wanna be close to you baby, as white is to rice
Close you you baby, as cold is to ice
Close you you baby, as fire is to smoke
Close you you baby, as a pig is to pork
I wanna be close to you baby
Whoa, let me be close to you
I wanna be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I said closer and closer, baby
Closer and closer, baby - ha ha
Closer and closer, baby
Closer and closer, baby
I wanna be close to you, darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I wanna be close to you baby, as the whites of your eyes
Close to you baby, as cold is to ice
Close to you baby, as an egg is to a hen
Close you baby, as Siamese twins

I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah, let me be close to you
I wanna be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

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.
