| 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 |
