Before We Get Any Closer

Before we get any closer

Before we let it begin

Before our feelings take over us

I wanna tell you one thing

I'm just an ordinary girl

Who needs some love in her life

I won't pretend to me more than I am

I've had some lovers before

But now I need something more

Than just a meaningless holding of hands

I'm just an ordinary girl

Who wants to reach out and find

Someone who honestly feels like I do

Love is so a fragile thing I'd sooner never begin

Than to find out too late, it's not true

Before we get any closer

Before we tell any lies

Before we make any promises

We really ought to decide

Is this a casual event

Two ships that pass in the night

Could we find heaven out there just one time

Or are we closer than close

With deeper feelings and most

Could ever know for the whole of their lives

Before we get any closer

Before we two become us

I need to know if you'll always be

Someone to totally trust

I'm just an ordinary girl

Who needs some love in her life

I won't pretend to me more than I am

I've had some lovers before

But now I need something more

Than just a meaningless holding of hands

Is this the casual event

Two ships that pass in the night

Could we find heaven out there just one time

Or are we closer than close

With deeper feelings and most

Couldn't ever know for the whole of their lives
