Cover art for Get Closer lyrics by Seals & Crofts

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' I'd 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 And 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 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

Are the lyrics People call it "Darlin' or darling if you want me to be closer to you."
