Just to Be Close to You Lyrics
[Intro: Kevin, AJ & All]
This is for the lovers
Strictly for the lovers, yeah
You got someone you wanna get close to?
Then get close to this
Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh
Just to be close to ya
Yo, drop the verse
[Verse 1: Howie, Brian & All]
Like a flower to a tree
That's how close I wanna be
To your heart (baby, to your heart)
Like the stars to the night
And daytime is to light
We'll never part (we'll never part)
[Pre-Chorus 1: AJ & All]
I want you to be (I want you to be)
The only thing that I see (ooh-ooh)
'Cause I believe it's our destiny
[Chorus: All & Brian]
Just to be close, just to be close
It's the only thing that I wanna do
(That I wanna do)
Just to be close, (close) just to be close
Just to be close to ya (closer to ya)
Just to be close
This is for the lovers
Strictly for the lovers, yeah
You got someone you wanna get close to?
Then get close to this
Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh
Just to be close to ya
Yo, drop the verse
[Verse 1: Howie, Brian & All]
Like a flower to a tree
That's how close I wanna be
To your heart (baby, to your heart)
Like the stars to the night
And daytime is to light
We'll never part (we'll never part)
[Pre-Chorus 1: AJ & All]
I want you to be (I want you to be)
The only thing that I see (ooh-ooh)
'Cause I believe it's our destiny
[Chorus: All & Brian]
Just to be close, just to be close
It's the only thing that I wanna do
(That I wanna do)
Just to be close, (close) just to be close
Just to be close to ya (closer to ya)
Just to be close
[Verse 2: Nick, Brian & All]
So lonely is the night
Without you to hold me tight
(I wanna hold you closer)
I need ya (baby, hold me closer, closer)
My life would mean nothing
Without the joy you bring to me
You know, you know, you know
[Pre-Chorus 2: AJ & All]
There would never be (never be)
No one else for me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
You were like a dream that became reality
[Chorus: All & AJ]
Just to be close, (so close) just to be close (close)
It's the only thing that I wanna do
(That I wanna do)
Just to be close, (close to ya, baby)
Just to be close (close to you)
Just to be close to ya (baby, baby)
Just to be close
[Bridge: Brian, AJ & All]
I'm gonna give you all my love
I'm gonna give it to you
I'm gonna give it to you, all my love (all my love)
I'm gonna give it to you
I'm gonna give it to you, give you everything you need
(All my love) I'm gonna give it to you
I'm gonna give you all you want
To be close to you, to be close to you
Close to you, close to you
So lonely is the night
Without you to hold me tight
(I wanna hold you closer)
I need ya (baby, hold me closer, closer)
My life would mean nothing
Without the joy you bring to me
You know, you know, you know
[Pre-Chorus 2: AJ & All]
There would never be (never be)
No one else for me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
You were like a dream that became reality
[Chorus: All & AJ]
Just to be close, (so close) just to be close (close)
It's the only thing that I wanna do
(That I wanna do)
Just to be close, (close to ya, baby)
Just to be close (close to you)
Just to be close to ya (baby, baby)
Just to be close
[Bridge: Brian, AJ & All]
I'm gonna give you all my love

Just to be close (close)
Just to be close to ya (I just wanna get close to you)
Just to be close
Just to be close (just to be close)
Just to be close (is all I want)
