Closer Lyrics

Floetic, Floacism, Fo? ology
It? s Floetry with Whyteleaf, we? re moving closer

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get oh yeah

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get oh yeah

So near yet you? re so far away
I can? t tell you enough how much boy
I want to love you baby
I want to know you baby

You hear, hear me talking to you baby.
Don? t wanna, fight the feeling that I? m feeling.
Give me, a chance to get
Just a little bit closer, oh yeah

Amazing, I rise the occasion is life
And I? m debating if I wanna be your girl or your wife
I? m understanding how your landings got me feeling a vibe
You? re in my lungs, I? m feeling strung, so now I? m chasing a high

You? re in my system, I? m in your wisdom
I am your partner, you are the father
You? re the beginning and I? m the after
I hear the universe, pulling us closer, just a little bit

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get, oh yeah

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get, oh yeah

Right there said it? s easy baby
Okay, just free me baby
You hold a special something over me
Oh yeah, and I like that babe

Oh yeah, said you got me babe
So good, don? t stop that baby
You? ve given us a chance
To get a little bit closer, oh yeah

So familiar the situation? s linear
It? s obvious I? m in-a ya
I know you know I? m inna ya
I know you know I? m what you were
Just never ever looking for
I? m what you call impossible or you could say a miracle

I? m in your system, you? re in my wisdom
You are my partner I am the mother
I? m the beginning and you? re the after
You hear the universes pulling us closer, just a little bit

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get, oh yeah

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get, oh yeah

So good it feels
How good it feels
So good it feels
So real to me

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get, oh yeah

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get, oh yeah

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get, oh yeah

Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit
Can I get a little bit closer?
I? d want to get, closer, to get, oh yeah

Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart are the funky divas behind the neo-soul duo Floetry. Ambrosius and Stewart emerged in the mid-'90s as songwriters in demand. They're behind some of the new millennium's biggest hits, too. The pair has written tracks for Michael Jackson, Jill Scott, Glenn Lewis, and Bilal. While they're highly respected behind the scenes, Floetry is their way of moving up front.

Ambrosius is the songstress to Stewart's spoken word impresario or "floacist" role. The two met due to their love of basketball. Stewart, who hails from London, was a superstar on her court, while Ambrosius wowed fans in her local English neighborhood. They were competitive, but not rivals, so a friendship was formed. Music was also a passion. Ambrosius relished in her reggae roots while Stewart found herself grooving to funk and soul. While attending Brits Performing Arts School, Ambrosius studied business and finance, but made room for courses in voice, performance technique, and recording. Stewart split her time between acting and directing. Later, Ambrosius and Stewart headed to college.

Ambrosius planned to attend Georgia Tech University on a basketball scholarship, but injury forced her to bow out. Stewart headed for Middlesex University, eventually transferring to North London University. Still, they two kept in touch and raved about music. It wouldn't be until Stewart's girl group, 3 Plus 1, disbanded that Floetry would actually give music a serious shot.

In 1997, Ambrosius and Stewart began writing songs and playing shows in and around London. Three years later, they moved to America in search of something bigger. A brief stint in Atlanta didn't pan out, but their time spent in Philadelphia proved golden. Ambrosius and Stewart befriended Julius Erving III, basketball great Julius Erving's son, in mid-2000. Floetry and Erving clicked instantly. Erving signed on as their manager and hooked the ladies up with Jeff Townes, aka DJ Jazzy Jeff, for some recording. That's when the deals started trickling in -- Floetry were official and living out a dream. In 2002, they inked a deal with DreamWorks and touched up their own work for a debut album. Floetic appeared in October 2002, and its follow-up, Flo'Ology, reached the Top Ten upon release three years later.
