[Part I: Close to You]

[Intro: Stevie Wonder]
Just like me, they long to be close to you

[Verse 1]
I'll be honest, I wasn't devastated
But you could've held my hand through this, baby
Let my mind run underneath warm jets (Jet-jets)
I run my hands through what's left
But we're getting older, baby
Don't have much longer baby
Why am I preaching…
To this choir, to this atheist?
When just like mine, versions of these belong to you
And after 'while, they're keeping me close to you

[Part II: Never Can Say Goodbye]

[Refrain]
And that is why…
Never can say goodbye (Oh, no, no)
I never can say goodbye

[Verse 2]
Even though the pain and heartache…
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Try to hide the feelings…
But they always seem to show
You say, "Turn around you fool…
You know, I love you more and more"
[Refrain]
Tell me why is it so…
I don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye (No-no-no, oh-no, no)
I never can say goodbye (Ooh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yes)
I never can say goodbye (No, no, no-oh)
I never can say goodbye (No, no, no-no, no-oh)
Never can, never-never can say, nev-nev-never can say
Never can say goodbye (No)
