I keep getting closer to the love i know
   i'm ready and willing getting out of control
   you win and you lose some
   but if you stay in the game
  
   before you know it you feel the fire
   but don't get burned by the flame
   you'll find the answer any day
   with every beat of my heart
   i keep getting closer to you
   with every beat of my heart
   i know we're getting closer
   to love with every beat
  
   i just wanna know you more every day
   and it won't be long till i hear you say say it say it
   say that you do boy
   it's just a matter of time
  
   before you know it you'll feel the fire
   and it's burning deep inside
   you'll find the answer in his eyes
   with every beat of my heart
   i keep getting closer to you
   with every beat of my heart now
   i know i'm getting closer to love
   with every beat of my heart
   i feel you moving closer to me oh
   with every beat of my heart
   baby i know it's becoming reality
   with every beat
