"Take A Closer Look At Me" Lyrics

(Henry Cosby, Pam Sawyer, Joe Hinton)

You asked me from time to time
About different girls that catch your eyes
Love is what you're looking for
But blind may my love you ignore
Standing right before your eyes
Is all the love you'll hope to find
So, throw away your little black book
If there's love you want, here I am

Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look, you'll see in me
(Love---) it's love is what you want, baby
(Love---) love is what you need
(Sweet love)

The girls you chose with no big hits
They struck out with every pitch
Each new day, another complain
But same results with different names
You come to me to straighten your life
Not with love but my advice
I'm your friend, you know for sure
Can't you see I wanna be more?

Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look, you'll see in me
Love---
It's love is what you want, baby
Love is what you need

Haven't you noticed how I find
Clever little ways to steal your time?
Advice I give for you to take
But other girls is for my sake
The very things I said to do
Are the lovely things I want from you
I don't wanna seem so bold
If you can't see, you gotta be told

Just take a closer look at me
Ooh baby
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
