Lyrics

(Feat. beyonce knowles)

Beyonce:
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me

Over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel

Luther:
Lying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more (more and more)
Let's give love a try
(Let's give love a try)

Beyonce:
Sweeter than sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts in love will find
True love
In a special way

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me what you've got
Your love has captured me

Over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew this was real (got to be real)
The way you make me feel (you know)

Both:
My baby, my baby, my baby, my love, ooh!
Yeah, mmhm come closer love
Come a little closer so we can see into the eyes of love
(Beyonce: just want to see into those eyes of love)
Come closer love
Just a little a closer let me speak to you
I wanna softly tell you something
Here I am and here's my love
I just want you to come closer
Come a little closer let me whisper in your ear
'Cause I wanna tell you something
(Luther: here I am and here's my love I just want you to)
Come closer love
Move a little closer so that we can say for real
The way we feel about each other's lovin'…
Here I am and here's my love
(Song fades out)
