The closer I get to yoooooou
(The closer I get to yooo ooou)
The more you make me seeeee (Oooh oooh ooooh)
By giving me all you goooot
(Oooh, baby, baby, baby)
Your love has captured me (Ohh ooh ooh)

Bein a mother is a job
That's really never done
And I'm the first to admit I
Ain't been a perfect son
But truly on this day when you celebrate life
I think about the wrongs that
I need to make right
But all the time you struggled
And sacrificed it ALL
Just to make sho' we had jackets in the fall
And I clearly recall you livin in pain
From years of takin two buses
And ridin a train
But like a elevator UP, we eventually bound
And headin for a place where success is found
And since
You gave me direction and the test is now
The last thing I wanna do is let you down
So what do you give somebody
That'll give you anything?
Never ask for nuttin, but gave you everything
And that's the kinda love you
Ain't supposed to forget
So the longer that I'm gone, the closer I get
Toyou!

The closer I get to yoooooou
(The closer I get to yooo ooou)
The more you make me seeeee (Oooh oooh ooooh)
By giving me all you goooot
(Oooh, baby, baby, baby)
Your love has captured me (Ohh ooh ooh)

I guess I have to wonder what you
Wishin when you blow out the candles
'Cause livin how we livin had
Been so hard to handle
But since you made me always lead by example
If I gotta go to prison
Then it's more than worth to gamble
To get you everything that
Your heart could desire
'Cause that's the part that causes
My heart to be inspired
And that's the spark that causes
My thoughts to reach higher
So if it cost? then I walk through the fire
I admire your will, and your honesty's fresh
You taught me to be real
And never follow the rest
So we could talk about
Anything you wanna address
'Cause like Beyonce show
I'm seein "mamma knows best"
And wouldn't hesitate to put a
Child in his place
So the least that I could do is
Put a smile on ya face
And that's the type of love
You ain't s'posed to forget
So the longer that I'm gone, the closer I get
Toyou! You!

The closer I get to yoooooou
(The closer I get to yooo ooou)
The more you make me seeeee (Oooh oooh ooooh)
By giving me all you goooot
(Oooh, baby, baby, baby)
Your love has captured me (Ohh ooh ooh)

If it ever feel like I'm far away
Just know, that I'm closer than you think
And if you REALLY really need me
All you gotta do is look inside ya heart
