Closer to me,
Let that look in your eye
Say that love making love is really on your mind

And I know that love is in the makin’

Lovely lady
Looks at me, I get high
And some earthshakin’ love is really on my mind
Then you smile at me
And I know it’s there for the takin’

Lovely lady loves to smile
And a smile is in her eyes
Lady lets me know
It’s time for love by smilin’

Say that love making love is really on your mind
Then you smile at me
And I know that love is in the makin’

Lovely lady
