Close the Door

(John Howcott / Emanuel Officer / Donald K. Parks)

I knew from the very first time I laid eyes on you baby,
that you would be right for me,
I knew your heart had been broken many times before, sweet baby,
and I had to make my move before love closed the door.
Boy I know you've been hurt so many times before, yeah,
and it's so hard to trust again since you've been let down,
give me the chance baby, I've got what you need, hey,
I'm what you're looking for,
I'm what you need.

Ooh, I'm what you need (I'm what you need),
and I've got what you want (I've got what you want),

Boy, I know you've cried so many tears,
that's too many tears for one heart,
you spend so much time all alone by yourself, I'm what you need,
I'm what you're looking for.
You thought you found true love, but you were deceived,
and when you needed real love they turned you away,
you gave your all but your all wasn't good enough, I'm what you want,
baby, I'm what you need.

Come on baby, give love a try,
you've got to learn to trust again,
and if you let me, I'll wipe the tears from your eyes,
come on baby and give love a try.
