Album: Dangerously in Love

Track No: 11

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Tell me more
Ooh, yeah, your love has captured me, yeah
Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
But all the while inside, I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
Hey
(Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah) Hey
And ooh (Ooh)
Oh yeah
Lying here next to you, oh, huh
Time just seems to fly, yeah
Needing you more and more
More and more
Let's give love a try
Let's give love a try
I wanna try, love
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And Heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts of love we'll find
True love in a special way, way, way (True love, ooh)
The closer I get
The closer I get
To you, baby
The more you make me see (More you make me see)
By giving me what you've got
Your love
Whoo
Captured me
Ooh, over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
When all the while inside I knew this was real
Got to be (Got to be real)
The way you make me feel
You know, you know, you know
My baby, my baby, my baby
My love, my love, my love, my love (My love)
Whoo
Come closer, love
Come a little closer so that
We can see into the eyes of love
I wanna see into those eyes of love
Come closer, love
Just a little closer, let me speak to you
I wanna softly tell you something
Here I am and here's my love
I just want you too
(Come closer, love) Yeah
Come a little closer let me whisper in your ear
'Cause I wanna tell you something
I wanna whisper in your ear so soft
So come closer, love
Move on in real close so we can celebrate
The way we feel about each other's loving
Wanna tell you words, words of
Love
Words that make you
