Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aint no denying it baby
And now it's started a flame
Oh girl you got me going insane in a good way
Can't get you off of my brain
Aint that a shame
If there's just one thing that I gotta do
And hold you close and never let you go
Can I get closer
Can I get closer
Can I get closer, closer to you
Well can I wipe away your tears
Wipe away your fears
Be the man that you need me to be
Can I get closer, closer to you
Now baby I've been thinkning 'bout us
And I just don't understand
How God can make a woman so beautiful
So perfect, for a man
Cause when I wake up in the morning and I think about your face
No one in this world could ever take your place
God sent you to me and it's meant to be
Baby, oohh
If there's just one thing that I gotta do
Is wrap my arms around you
And hold you close
And never let you go, ohh
Can I get closer
Can I get closer
Can I get closer, closer to you
Now can I wipe away your tears
Wipe away your fears
Be the man that you need me to be
Can I get closer, closer to you
And now I'm thinkning to myself what is going on
Cause it's to good to be true
But then I remeber thers a God up there saying
Son this ones for you
So can I get closer
Ohh can I get close to you baby
Can I get closer, closer to you (closer to you)
Now can I wipe away your tears
Wipe away your fears
Be the man that you need me to be
Can I get closer, closer to you
Yeah
Thank you
Ohhhhhhhhhohhh
I just wanna get close
I just wanna get closer to you
I just wanna get close
I just wanna get close to you
I just wanna get close
Just let me get close
Closer to you, mhhhhmm
I just wanna get close
I just wanna get close to you (X2)
I just wanna get close
Just let me get close to you

I've been constantly thinking about our relationship, and how much you mean to me
And I just don't understand
I can't fathom how lucky I am to have you in my life
How God can make a woman so beautiful
I'm in awe of how God has created someone as beautiful and perfect as you
So perfect, for a man
I feel like you're made just for me, and you're the perfect partner for me to spend my life with
Cause when I wake up in the morning and I think about your face
Every morning when I wake up, the thought of your beautiful face is what fills my mind and makes me happy
No one in this world could ever take your place
You're so unique and special to me that no one could ever replace you in my heart
God sent you to me and it's meant to be

Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am to have you, and everything feels surreal
Cause it's too good to be true
My happiness with you is so overwhelming that sometimes it feels like it's not real
But then I remember there's a God up there saying son this one's for you
Whenever I have doubts or fears, I remember that God has brought you to me for a reason, and I feel reassured
Just let me get close to you
All I want is to be close to you, to feel our love and connection growing stronger every day
