Lyrics

I started loving being next to you
Spoke my mind when I send texts to you
Didn't know what I expect of you
-------------
Tell me - really
Were you close - to loving me

I could have you in the car with me
Even when you were so far from me
I really loved who you are with me
-------------
Tell me - were we
Were you close - to loving me

When I told you so
You gave the sweetest "No"
My wish for you
That he'd love you like I do

Now I need for us to be good friends
And the answer probably depends
I just hope your time with me won't end
-------------
Tell me - truly
Were you close - to loving me

Before I asked, I sent this song to you
I knew I could be so wrong for you
I just wanted to belong to you
-------------
Tell me - Mary
Were you close - to loving me
