(They Long To Be) Close To You - Jerry Butler, Brenda Lee Eager

You know, baby

I used to get awful mad every time

I saw someone out with you

I really did

But I’ve been loving you so long now

That I really can kinda understand

And so when I see them digging you

I just smile and say

I know why birds suddenly appear

Every time you come near

Just like me, they long to be Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky

Every time you walk by Just like me, ooh, they

Long to be close to you

On the day that you were born

The angels got together

They decided to make

A dream come true

So they sprinkled moon dust

In your hair, to my baby

I love you

That’s why all the guys in town

Follow you around

Just like me, they long to be Close to you.

Yes, they do Just like me, they long to be Close to you

Sing it from the song

Just like me (just like me)

They long to be (they long to be)

Close to you

Say it one more time, baby

Just like me (just like me)

Just like me, just like me They long to be (they long to be)

Close to you

Sing it like I wanna moan one time

Ooh, ooh, close to you

Ooh, ooh, close to you

Say it one more time, baby

Ooh, ooh, close to you

Every day of my life

Ooh, ooh, close to you
