I may do things
You don't understand
But remember I'm only doing
The best I can

Every little thing I do
I'm just trying to get
Closer to you

(Nearer, nearer, nearer, ooh ooh)

I'm sorry if I seem, ooh, yeah
A little bit stubborn sometimes
I hope I'm not being
A nuisance to you

I know you said
That you'd be home soon
I got to be nearer
Nearer to you
Oh yeah

Every little thing I do
I'm just trying to get
Closer to you

(Nearer, nearer, nearer, ooh ooh)

Every deed I do
I'm just trying to get
Closer to you

I got to be nearer
Nearer to you

Oh, I gotta be nearer
Just a little closer, yeah
