Let's get close closer than close 
closer than you could ever imagine us
Let's get close closer than close 
closer than you could ever imagine us
 
All week long   I've been waiting 
Every night I've been alone Holding on 
Dreams of you   keep me alive 
This time, no, I'm never gonna' let you go 
  
Let's get close closer than close 
closer than you could ever imagine us
  
Open my mystery... you're the one who has the key 
Bring that magical paradise 
Never fails that you inspire   uncontrollable desire 
  
Let's get close closer than close 
closer than you could ever imagine us
  
Close the door... turn out the lights 
Turn me on with magical music... hypnotize 
Lover man... so glad you're here 
Whispering our secret language in my ear 
  
Open my mystery... you're the one who has the key 
Bring that magical paradise 
Never fails that you inspire   uncontrollable desire 
  
Let's get close closer than close 
closer than you could ever imagine us
  
When you're near, nothing is wrong 
forgetting all about the day... all night long 
You turn me on... with your heart 
Baby don't you know... we'll never part 
  
Let's get close closer than close 
closer than you could ever imagine us
