Just to be close to you, girl
Just for a moment, well just for an hour
Just to be close to you, girl
Oh well, ah baby

Aw you know I've been through so many changes in my life girl
Aw I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody
Aw and then again I've been down real low where
There was no one in my life who needed me
Aw and I found that material things I thought had so much value
Aw girl didn't really have any value at all

There I was a lonely man
A man with no direction, with no purpose
With no one to love and no one to love me for, for me
Aw girl then you, then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smooth
You made my, you made my direction so clear and you aw woman
You became my purpose my reason for livin' girl

You see you're my heart, you're my soul
You're my stone inspiration
Baby, oh that's why I'm standin' here singin'
And opening my arms to you
I wanna say child why don't you

(Take my hand)
Aw we'll live in love forever, yeah
(Take my hand)
Ooh, we'll be alone you and me, yeah
(Take my hand)
Girl we'll live our lives together, yeah together
(Together yeah)
Together
(Together)

Just to be close to you, girl
Just for the moment baby
Well just for an hour
Just to be close to you, girl, hey, ooh

I've been out there searchin' so very long baby
Searchin' to find somebody just like you
And for some folks it takes a lifetime sugar
To find in this world a dream come true
Why don't you

(Take my hand)
Oh, we'll live in love forever, yeah
(Take my hand)
Girl we'll be alone you and me
(Take my hand)
We'll spend our lives together, yeah
(Together)
Together
(Together)

Just to be close to you, girl
Just for the moment
(Just for the moment)
Just for the hour
Just to be close to you, girl
I need you baby

To make love, to be loved by you, baby
To have your warm body close to mine
To whisper words that make you feel like a woman
Girl, I know our love will stand the test of time

Just to be close to you girl
For the moment baby

For the sugar, sugar, yeah, yeah
