Get closer Lyrics

(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1976)
From the albums GET CLOSER (1976), SUPERGROUPS (1976)
and THE SEALS & CROFTS COLLECTION (1979).

Chorus: 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.

Boy: There's a line, I can't cross over. It's no good for me and it's no good for you.
Girl: 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.
(chorus)

Boy: There's a time, I when I would come runnin'. I'd drop everything for the touch of your hand in mine.
Girl: 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.
(chorus)
