[Intro]

(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1]

It's a jungle out there they say

Filled with superstition

Get on your knees and pray

If you pay maybe she'll listen

It's a struggle out there they tell me

Love comes with condition

I tried to send a solution

But it got lost in transition

[Pre-Chorus]

So, so, so, so, so many times, I

Fell for the same things twice

So, so, so, so, so many times, I

Forgot my own advice

[Chorus]

The closer I get to you, baby

The closer I get to know myself

The closer I get to you, baby

The more that I don't need no one else

[Post-Chorus]

(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

The closer I get

[Verse 2]

"It is what it is," you tell me

Like nobody ever changed their mind

I'm too high to get my own place (Oh, oh, get my own place)

I'm too scared to leave my friends behind

[Pre-Chorus]

So, so, so, so, so many times, I

Fell for the same things twice

So, so, so, so, so many times, I

Forgot my own advice

[Chorus]

The closer I get to you, baby

The closer I get to know myself

The closer I get to you, baby

The more that I don't need no one else

[Post-Chorus]

The closer I get

(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]

Besties forever, lived in a backseat

Courtney in the front

Strange day in LA, rain on the 101

I took ride over to my lil' boo

Show her I could stunt

She said, "Let's go the extra mile, you might just be the one"

Be the one, ah-ooh

[Chorus]

The closer I get to you, baby

The closer I get to know myself

The closer I get to you, baby

The more that I don't need no one else

[Outro]

(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
