Let Me Get Close to You
Embrace of Longing: Skeeter Davis' Plea for Love
Lyrics
I know I never felt this way before
I am experiencing a new and intense feeling.
I can't remember ever wanting anyone more
I have never desired anyone as much as this.
How can you turn me down when I need you the way that I do?
Why are you rejecting me when I need you so much?
Come on baby
Expressing a plea or invitation.
Let me get close to you
I want to be physically close to you, and it will be worthwhile.
Oh you won't be sorry
Assuring that the closeness will bring joy or satisfaction.
I'll do anything that you ask of me
Willing to comply with any request.
I'll be the kind of girl you want me to be
Willing to adapt to be the person you desire.
So won't you let me be the someone you tell your troubles to
Asking to be the one you confide in with your problems.
Come on baby
Reiteration of the desire for physical closeness.
Let me get close to you
Repeating the plea to be close.
How long I'll never know I waited to tell you that I love you so
Expressing uncertainty about the duration of the wait to confess love.
Now I have finally said it
Finally expressing love verbally.
Come on baby don't make me regret it
Pleading not to regret expressing love.
It's not if I'm asking for the world
Stating that the request is not extravagant.
All I want is just a chance to be your girl
Desiring a chance to be in a romantic relationship.
So won't you find it in your heart to make all my dreams come true
Pleading for the fulfillment of dreams.
Come on baby
Reiterating the desire for physical closeness.
Let me get close to you
Repeating the plea to be close.
Please find it in your heart to make all
Continuation of the plea for dream fulfillment.
My dreams come true
Repeating the plea for dream fulfillment.
Come on baby
Reiteration of the desire for physical closeness.
Let me get close to you
Repeating the plea to be close.
I want to be close to you
Expressing a general desire to be near.
Real close to you
Specifically emphasizing the desire for close proximity.
Let me get close to you
Repeating the plea to be close.
