[Verse 1: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
Oh, distant lover, so far away, yeah
I hope that you can hear me say
Come on (Come a little closer)
Come a little closer (Come a little closer)
Come a little closer (Come a little closer)
To my heart

[Verse 2: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
Oh, distant lover, want you to know
If I get you in my arms, won't let you go
So come on (Come a little closer)
Please come on (Come a little closer)
Just a little closer (Come a little closer)
To my heart

[Bridge: Paul Williams]
My heart and soul is so sad, it's so sad
I need you hеre so bad, so bad
You know what I mean, girl, the distancе between
You and me is driving me mad, yeah

[Verse 3: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
Oh, distant lover, want you to know
If I get you in my arms, I won't let you go
So come on (Come a little closer)
Come a little closer (Come a little closer)
Come a little closer (Come a little closer)
To my heart
[Outro: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
Yeah, come on (Come a little closer)
Just a little closer (Come a little closer)
Come a little closer (Come a little closer)
To my heart
