[Intro]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1]
It's a jungle out there they say
Filled with superstition
Get on your knees and pray
If you pay maybe she'll listen
It's a struggle out there they tell me
Love comes with condition
I tried to send a solution
But it got lost in transition

[Pre-Chorus]
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Fell for the same things twice
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Forgot my own advice

[Chorus]
The closer I get to you, baby
The closer I get to know myself
The closer I get to you, baby
The more that I don't need no one else

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
The closer I get
[Verse 2]
"It is what it is," you tell me
Like nobody ever changed their mind
I'm too high to get my own place (Oh, oh, get my own place)
I'm too scared to leave my friends behind

[Pre-Chorus]
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Fell for the same things twice
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Forgot my own advice

[Chorus]
The closer I get to you, baby
The closer I get to know myself
The closer I get to you, baby
The more that I don't need no one else

[Post-Chorus]
The closer I get
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
Besties forever, lived in a backseat
Courtney in the front
Strange day in LA, rain on the 101
I took ride over to my lil' boo
Show her I could stunt
She said, "Let's go the extra mile, you might just be the one"
Be the one, ah-ooh
[Chorus]
The closer I get to you, baby
The closer I get to know myself
The closer I get to you, baby
The more that I don't need no one else

[Outro]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
