Below, you will find the lyrics for The Closer I Get to You by Beyoncé.
Verse 1
The closer i get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
Lyin' here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more, more and more
Let's give love a try
Chorus 2
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts of love will find
True love in a special way
Verse 3
Ooh, ooh, the closer i get
Closer i get to you, baby
The more you make me see
More you make me see
By givin' me what you got, yeah
Your love captures me
Chorus 3
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 real
They you make me feel
Bridge
You know, you know, you know
My baby, my baby, my baby
My love
Yeah yeah
Outro
Come a little closer so that we can see
Into the eyes of love
I want to see into those eyes of love
Just a little closer let me speak to you
I want to softly tell you something
Here i am, here's my love, i just want you to
Come a little closer let me whisper in your ear
Cuz i wanna tell you something
I wanna whisper in your ear so softly...so come closer, love
Move on in real close so we can celebrate
The way we feel a bout each other's loving
I wanna tell you words, words of love
