[Verse 1: Luther Vandross & Beyoncé]
The closer I get to you
Uh, the more you make me see
By givin' me all you've got (Tell me more)
Ooh, yeah, your love has captured me, yeah

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Luther Vandross]
Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
When all the while inside I knew it was real (Ooh)
The way you make me feel

[Interlude: Beyoncé, Luther Vandross & Both]
Hey (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)
Hey
And, ooh (Ooh)
Oh

[Verse 2: Luther Vandross & Beyoncé]
Lyin' here next to you, oh, huh
Time just seems to fly, yeah
Needin' you more and more, more and more (More and more)
Let's give love a try (Let's give love a try)
I wanna try, oh
[Chorus: Beyoncé & Luther Vandross]
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And Heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts of love will find
True love (Love)
In a special way, way (Ooh), way

[Verse 3: Luther Vandross, Beyoncé & Both]
The closer I get (The closer I get)
To you, baby
The more you make me see (The more you make me see)
Uh, by givin' me what you've got, oh, yeah
Your love captured me (Woo, ha)

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Luther Vandross]
Ooh, over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
When all the while inside I knew this was real (Got to be real)
Got to be real, the way you make me feel

[Bridge: Luther Vandross, Beyoncé & Both]
You know, you know, you know
My baby, my baby, my baby
My love, my love, my love, my love
Ooh (Haha)
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Outro: Beyoncé & Luther Vandross, Beyoncé, Luther Vandross]
(Come closer, love)
Come a little closer
So that we can see into the eyes of love
I wanna see into those eyes of love
(Come closer, love)
Just a little closer, let me speak to you
I wanna softly tell you somethin'
Here I am
