Lyrics
Closest Thing To Love (i've Ever Seen)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You never give me all the love a woman craves
Cause there's a part of youth you seem to want to save
I must admit you're not the man of my dreams
But you're the closest thing to love I've ever seen
You're not the kind of man I always hoped to find
But when I'm in your arms I never really mind
Cause there's a feeling that has taken hold of me
And it's the closest thing to love I've ever seen
Why should I go looking for somebody new
The closest thing to love I've seen is you
I'd waited for your touch to end this burning fire
But your love always leaves a lot to be desired
Yes there can never be enough of you for me
Cause you're the closest thing to love I've ever seen
