Chorus: Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me
Boy: There's a line, I can't cross over It's no good for me and it's no good for you
Girl: And there's a feelin', deep down inside me I can't explain it and you're wondering why
You say we've been like strangers, but I'm not the others you can wrap 'round your fingers
(chorus)
Boy: There's a time, I when I would come runnin' I'd drop everything for the touch of your hand in mine
Girl: You were blind and now you regret it, 'cause I can't forget it It's locked in my mind
And I can't go on livin' day to day wondering if we'll be here tomorrow
People change and you're changin' And I've given you my all, there's no more to borrow
(chorus)
