Closest Thing To Love (i've Ever Seen)

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...
