It’s funny how I used to see you every day But on one particular day I looked over at you in the usual nonchalant way And it seemed as if I had never seen you before It felt strange that I used to deny your existence And then it dawned on me that I had never been
This close to you I feel the strange and eery vibrations of love This close to you Is like a breezy summer day And for the first time I feel the compulsion to say hello, ooh
Well I’m the one that you’ve talked about in song You’ve been going out of your head And I never knew what you were up to I apologize for making you wait so long You’ve been very, very kind And I feel kinda crazy, baby, crazy, crazy
This close to you Has made this a strange and ominous day Ooh, my love, is this an omen telling me That I should run for love I never thought that I’d be in love And I never thought that I’d want to be This close to you
It ain’t never even crossed my mind That I’d want to be this close to you It ain’t never even crossed my mind That I’d want to be this close to you It ain’t never even crossed my mind That I’d want to be this close to you It ain’t never even crossed my mind That I’d want to be…
I never knew, never never Never, no I never knew that I’d want to be That I’d want to be this close to you
