Lyrics
0:03It's funny how I used to see you every day
0:07But on one particular day
0:09I looked over at you in the usual nonchalant way
0:14And it seemed as if I had never seen you before
0:18It felt strange that I used to deny your existence
0:22And then it dawned on me that I had never been
0:27This close to you
0:31I feel the strange and eery vibrations of love
0:48This close to you
0:53Is like a breezy summer day
1:01And for the first time
1:04I feel the compulsion to say hello
1:13Ooh
1:14Well I'm the one that you've talked about in song
1:17You've been going out of your head
1:21And I never knew what you were up to
1:28I apologize for making you wait so long
1:31You've been very very kind
1:34And I feel kinda crazy baby
1:38Crazy crazy
1:43This close to you
1:47Has made this a strange and ominous day
1:55Ooh my love is this an omen telling me
2:02That I should run for love
2:10I never thought that I'd be in love
2:14And I never thought that I'd want to be
2:21This close to you
2:26It ain't never even crossed my mind
2:29That I'd want to be this close to you
2:33It ain't never even crossed my mind
2:36That I'd want to be this close to you
2:40It ain't never even crossed my mind
2:43That I'd want to be this close to you
2:46It ain't never even crossed my mind
2:50That I'd want to be
3:06I never knew never never
3:12Never no
3:13I never knew that I'd want to be
3:17That I'd want to be this close to you
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
