Closer
© 2011 Cindy Prince

We’ve been enemies
We’ve been friends
Our relationship’s been good
But then again
It could be so much better
Do more than just smolder
If you’d come over here
And get closer

No need to be afraid
We’re friends after all
I won’t let it hurt
I won’t let you fall
We can be good together
Yeah, sparks are gonna fly
Come get closer, babe
Let’s give this a try

Chorus
Closer..closer to you
Come let your touch
Do what it’ll do
Let’s take it up a notch
Let’s see this thing through
Come on…closer…closer

Bridge
Time is moving on so fast
Let’s get together, let’s make it last

I can’t wait
To see what’s ahead
I wanna take you down
Lie you on my bed
The magic is ours
All ours for the taking
Come get closer, baby
It’s love that we’re making

Repeat chorus

Good evening, Cindyrella,

In a word, hot.
In another word, sexy.

Just a minor word change to ponder...add another 'so much' to line 6 and omit 'just'...

And line 5, verse 3, 'all' ours, ect...

I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing this tonight...

Hey Cindy,

Tweaks below, keep or sweep smile


Do more than just smolder <<--seems like a forced rhyme to me

We can be good together
Yeah, sparks are gonna fly
Come get closer, babe
Let’s give this a try (See bridge comment)
Chorus
Closer..closer to you
Come let your touch
Do what it’ll do
Let’s take it up a notch
Let’s see this thing through

Come on…closer…closer

Bridge (a bridge is usually a different viewpoint; here you are saying similar lines..why not introduce a couplet featuring the opposite of closer: farther)

Time is moving on so fast
Let’s get together, let’s make it last

I can’t wait
To see what’s ahead
I wanna take you down
Lie you on my bed
The magic is ours
All ours for the taking
<<--Make the most of each line by making each word count.
Come get closer, baby
It’s love that we’re making <<--worded to rhyme with taking; more natural phrase with 2 less words: We're making love
