lirik lagu bobby womack - monologue / (they long to be) close to you
[part i: monologue]
[interlude]
h~llo, h~llo, how are you?
i wonder if i can borrow
about ten minutes of your time
you know how it is when you feel all alone
you feel like you gotta talk to somebody
i wanna talk to you
listen to me
sittin’ here, sippin’ on a glass of wine
and i’m trying my best not to lose my mind (not to lose my mind)
you know, thinkin’ about the word, ha, “commercial”
that’s a funny, funny, funny word
you know, what’s funnier than that?
when show people use it
you know what i’m talking about, like, uh
record companies
presidents, vice presidents, producers
and a little engineer
but you know what? i feel down in my heart
i don’t care what it is
if i can get into it, it’s commercial enough for mе
but anyway, i remember a littlе while back
i walked into a recording studio with just me and my guitar
ha
i remember startin’ out on a song
sort of went somethin’ like this
well, it had the same melody anyway
the head man called in the president, vice president
and just one of his producers, huh
and an engineer (and an engineer)
you know, they all sit around with their heads dropped down
while i was trying to get over, huh
you could hear a pin fall
i know you all know what i’m talkin’ about
and i’m still there trying to get over
but anyway, as i got down to doing my thing
or should i say, doing the best that i could
i’ll never forget what they told me
one of the guys got up and said
“i like you, and i ain’t saying that you can’t sing”
but as they all began to leave the conference table
they kept on saying, “watch, you’re not commercial”
commercial, commercial
no, you’re not commercial, oh
so i went on out
or should i say, i sold out
but like i said before, music is music
that’s how it is
that’s the way it is
well, i don’t change my style
because i still have the same heart
but just like the man said
he said, “bobby, it’s gotta be funky”
ooh~ooh, oh yeah
i came back and now i wanna sing
something that i wanna sing
a little song that says, uh
it says, uh
[part ii: (they long to be) close to you]
[verse 1]
why do birds suddenly appear
every time you’re near?
just like me, they long to be
close to you, yeah
why do stars fall down from the sky
every time you walk by?
just like me, can’t you see
they just wanna be close to you
yeah, listen to me
[chorus]
on the day that you were born
angels got together and decided
to create a dream come true
so, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
of gold and star~light in your eyes
of blue, ooh, oh~woah
[verse 2]
that is why all the guys in town follow you
follow you around
follow you around, follow you around?
just like me, they just wanna be close to you
well, why do stars fall down from the sky
every time you walk by? yeah
it’s just like me, they just wanna be
a little bit closer to you, i know, i know
[chorus]
on the day that you were born
the angels got together and decided
to create a dream come true
so they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
and i see rainbows when i look at you, oh, oh
[outro]
that is why all the guys in town follow you
you around?
just like me, they long to be closer to you
i think i got a reason to say oh, oh
i wanna be closer to you
let me say it one more time, one more time
i’ll go anywhere you want me to go
buy you anything that you want me to buy
but oh baby, ah yeah baby
i gotta, i gotta get a little closer to you
oh, oh, yes sir (close to you)
sometimes i wake up all night long
knowing that my love is so far away from home
