Everyday I'm growing a little bit closer to you.
I find myself doing everything you ask me to do.
We talk a little then you say you have to be gone.
But when you leave me the memory hangs on and on.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer now feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer,
A little bit longer.
I can see you thinking about what your love means to me.
I can sense the feelings that nobody else sees.
You're always in a rush how I wish you'd take a little time.
Why run when one kiss could make you mine all mine.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer.
Breaks me up every time that you go away,
Wouldn't it be simpler all round if you were to stay, yeah.
Linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger just a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer......move in closer.
Feel my love grow stronger.
Linger, a little bit longer.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger..
I don't know what's on your mind.
But I know what's in your heart.
There's a distance in your eyes,
You're not as strong as you think you are.
Everybody needs somebody,
You're gonna need somebody too.
I'm right in front of you.
You don't see me...you don't hear me.
You're giving me the cold shoulder.
You leave me in the dark.
When I call you, you don't answer.
The only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I ever wanted,
Was to be with you, and hold you in my arms, to be with you.
I don't know what's on your mind,
But I know what's in your heart.
Why you fighting, what you know is right.
Baby come inside my arms,
Cos everybody needs somebody.
Soon you're gonna need somebody too.
I'm right in front of you.
You don't see me, you don't hear me.
You're giving me the cold shoulder
You leave me in the dark
When I call you, you don't answer
The only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I ever wanted
Was to be with you, and hold you in my arms, to be with you
Why ya holding back, ain't no sense (don't make no sense)
Break down your defences
Why ya holding back, ain't no sense (don't make no sense)
Break down your defences
You don't see me, you don't hear me
You're giving me the cold shoulder
You leave me in the dark
When I call you, you don't answer
The only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I ever wanted
Was to be with you, and hold you in my arms, to be with you
