Seals & Crofts - Get Closer Lyrics






Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

There's a line, I can't cross over
It's no good for me and it's no good for you

And there's a feelin', deep down inside me
I can't explain it and you're wondering why
You say we've been like strangers
But I'm not the others you can wrap 'round your fingers

Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

There was a time, when I would come runnin'
I'd drop everything for the touch of your hand in mine

You were blind
And now you regret it
'Cause I can't forget it
It's locked in my mind

And I can't go on livin' day to day
Wondering if you'll be here tomorrow
People change and you're changin'
And I've given you my all
There's no more to borrow

Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

    Stands the test of time.

  6. C.... U....

    Damn.. I was only 9 years old and living at the very top of "Prospector Trail", in South Lake Tahoe, CA... and this song played on a loop on the South Lake pop station... now when I hear it, it's like time travel to a better and more innocent time... kind of Magic..

  7. c.... r....

    So true!

  8. L.... B....

    All time favorite still. Soooo soulful, girl can sang. Excellent bands back in that era. All gifted singers, almost gone😛

  11. A.... F....

    Always reminds me of summer

  12. S.... H....

    Seals and Crofts were the best of the 70's soft rock era IMO. Their songs were always well crafted with great chord progressions and melodies. They always had a bit of a unique twist that stood out from other artists in this genre.

  15. T.... R....

    2020... STILL timeless!!!

  16. r.... a....

    a lovely classic song, thanks.

  17. R.... M....

    vocalism 101 . . . .school is in.

  18. D.... V....

    Some songs never get out dated. I wish music had simple sweet messages like they did back when we grew up.

  19. J.... O....

    I love 70's music!

  20. C.... b....

    Awesome

  21. J.... F....

    I sure do miss these types of songs

  22. R.... M....

    this song may have gone somewhere if not for such shitty singing . . . . . . . .bwahahahahahahahaha. . . . . .wow ,what a tune ! sure takes me back. . . .all the way back. . . .to when times were so much more simple. . . . .

  23. D.... T....

    I LOVE thid beautiful song great music back in the day .I'm still listening in 2019 😊❤❤❤

  24. S.... H....

    Beautiful and words ring true

  25. j.... w....

    this greatist hits album came out 1975

  26. D.... L....

    I had a very nice conversation going on on these pages with a young lady concerning the GH 2019 Nurses Ball inspired by this song, but it seems to have disappeared. I can't find it!

  27. J.... B....

    Good old good old 70s brings back a lot of memories

  28. D.... B....

    Senior year gosh the chicks I wish I hadn't passed up still good times tho

  29. S.... G....

    Seals and Crofts love their hits especially Get Closer back in 1976 the bicenntial year the female back up singer happens to be Carolyn Willis formerly of The Honey Cone

  30. T.... G....

    This must be an absolute masterwork of arranging. The way the piano, string section, and voices work together is awesome.

  31. G.... P....

    Those background vocals though......wow!

  32. b.... ....

    I was in elementary school when this came out and my mom really loved S&C and this song. It always makes me think of her—lost her a few years ago. Such a beautiful song, starts out slow and soulful and builds to a very emotional climax. There’s a reason why that phrase exists, because it happens to be true, “they don’t make ‘em like this any more.”

  33. M.... L....

    Absolutely incredible dont make these songs like this anymore

  34. N.... s....

    I was a junior in high school when this came out. My teenage guy friends and me made up so many joke lyrics to this song. Try changing "closer" to "grosser" and you'll get the idea.

  35. R.... I....

    Damn good band!

  36. D.... M....

    Beautiful song ❤️❣️❤️

  37. K.... H....

    When songs had sentiment.Beautiful song.

  38. D.... G....

    one of the great ones

  39. L.... B....

    Soulfull sound, beautiful music back then that we can dance to. Shame, music now sucks!

  40. R.... D....

    One of the best songs from the best summer ever!!!

  41. R.... G....

    I freaking love this song

  42. D.... 0....

    This song has a deep meaning. This is real music when it was truly a masterpiece creation.

  43. W.... S....

    Good music runs in the family.

  44. T.... P....

    Love this song reminds me of my childhood.

  45. s.... ....

    Why this album cover, This is one of their greatest hits but is NOT on that album.

  46. T.... B....

    The reciprocity of love. If you want me to be this or that, be this or that also. It's a great song.

  47. D.... S....

    Best time for Music - Rock hold overs from the fifties like Elvis, Sixties the Stones and Beatles, Punk and New wave DEVO and The Ramones, R&B the likes of the Stylistics, Temptations and Salsa music , Tito Puente, Celia Cruz to name a few. Not to forget Country, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson.... Best variety of music ever

  48. J.... N....

    I wonder if the members of Toto (David Paich, David Hungate and Jeff Porcaro) had a hand in this. If they did, the people from Toto need to be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame.

  49. W.... C....

    GET CLOSER TO ME

  50. W.... C....

    JUST REMEMBER THAT I LOVE YOU ❤🗻

  51. A.... P....

    Me recuerda mí maravillosa adolescencia en aquellos entrañables años ✨70’s.✨. Para mí, las hermosas melodías dé esos tiempos nadie las podrá superar...

  52. C.... R....

    My favorite part of the song is at 1:33 -1:40( my Seinfeld "desperado" moment). The changes in the music bring me to a special place that you just don't hear anymore.

  53. R.... W....

    soft smooth song

  54. M.... C....

    I clearly remember, listening to this song. While I was s six year old kid. Riding with my big brother, inside his. 1969 CHEVELLE SS with a souped up 402 Big Block V8. As we were driving back to is cute. Little house on 12th and North Dayton St. In Aurora CO.

  55. s.... ....

    PURE GOLD and FIVE STARS !

  56. D.... Y....

    listening to this song today... "you go first"!!

  57. K.... ....

    1976.....I was 12, that was the very best of times!

  58. W.... C....

    That is for dam sure what I WANT but THE REAL THING ✋😁

  59. W.... C....

    Easyer said than done

  60. R.... W....

    The great music from the 70s standing the test of time once again... you had to live it to know how special it was

  61. L.... K....

    An under rated band.
    This is one of the best songs.
    Take me back! <3

    L.... K....

    Underated because the 70s was absolutely flooded with great music. It was hardto break through all those legends to be that were clogging the airwaves of the 70s.

  62. t.... w....

    M.... H....

    There's a line and I can't cross over little one BOO is that it real name HUNTER

  87. R.... V....

    Amidst an era of chaos, Seals and Crofts brought peace. We were in our 20s.

  88. R.... L....

    Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
    Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
    Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
    Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

    There's a line, I can't cross over
    It's no good for me and it's no good for you

    And there's a feelin', deep down inside me
    I can't explain it and you're wondering why
    You say we've been like strangers
    But I'm not the others you can wrap 'round your fingers

    Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
    Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
    Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
    Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

    There was a time, when I would come runnin'
    I'd drop everything for the touch of your hand in mine

    You were blind
    And now you regret it
    'Cause I can't forget it
    It's locked in my mind
    And I can't go on livin'

    Day to day
    Wondering if we'll be here tomorrow
    People change and you're changin'
    And I've given you my all
    There's no more to borrow

    Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
    Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
    Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
    Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

  89. J.... M....

    This song. Is for my cabbage patch kid Jonathan because he is a big Seals and Crofts fan

  90. J.... W....

    one of the prettiest songs ever written.....
    Carol Willis back up singing made this song!!!!
    Thank you Seals and Crofts and Youtube for making these memories possible.

  91. M.... H....

    Ooh, shit! Me and my mama used to sing this song! Sweet memories!

  92. J.... S....

    Number 16 on Billboard's top 100 for 1976 should have been in the top ten

    J.... S....

    Just too much traffic in the 70s. There were probably 60 recordings that could have made the top 10 if they had come along in another decade.

  93. D.... B....

    😌😤😞😠😡💆🙋😤

  94. M.... W....

    SK8 4 every still love you

  95. M.... R....

    Featuring Carolyn Willis.

  96. S.... S....

  97. J.... T....

    This song was very popular when i was in school it sounds possessive now.
