El DeBarge - Close to You Lyrics

All I can do baby, to keep close to you baby,
All I can do baby, safe baby
You say that you need a man in your life
That you can love and trust,
And I'm thinking I know just who you need,
That would be me, I know I can make you happy
Open your eyes and look at me, baby

[Chorus]
Girl,
I'm doing all I can do in my power to get close to you
Jumping through hoops and obstacles
Please tell me what I gotta do to,
Get close to you, I'm trying get close to you,
Get close to you safe baby

You're afraid to really open up and let me inside,
From all the hurt you ever felt in your life,
But if you don't try, you never know what we could be,
Take a chance on me, baby.

Girl,I'm doing all I can do in my power to get close to you
Jumping through hoops and obstacles
Please tell me what I gotta do to,
Get close to you, I'm trying get close to you,
Get close to you safe baby

Please don't make me pay, don't make me pay
For mistakes someone else made any longer
I long for the day to hear you say
That you're ready to receive my love

[Chorus: x2]

Hey baby, safe baby
To get close to you, tell me what I gotta do, get close to you,
I'm trying get close to you, get close to you safe baby, oh, hey.
