[Intro: Kevin, AJ & All]
This is for the lovers
Strictly for the lovers, yeah
You got someone you wanna get close to?
Then get close to this
Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh
Just to be close to ya
Yo, drop the verse

[Verse 1: Howie, Brian & All]
Like a flower to a tree
That's how close I wanna be
To your heart (baby, to your heart)
Like the stars to the night
And daytime is to light
We'll never part (we'll never part)

[Pre-Chorus 1: AJ & All]
I want you to be (I want you to be)
The only thing that I see (ooh-ooh)
'Cause I believe it's our destiny

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Just to be close, just to be close
It's the only thing that I wanna do
(That I wanna do)
Just to be close, (close) just to be close
Just to be close to ya (closer to ya)
Just to be close

[Verse 2: Nick, Brian & All]
So lonely is the night
Without you to hold me tight
(I wanna hold you closer)
I need ya (baby, hold me closer, closer)
My life would mean nothing
Without the joy you bring to me
You know, you know, you know

[Pre-Chorus 2: AJ & All]
There would never be (never be)
No one else for me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
You were like a dream that became reality

[Chorus: All & AJ]
Just to be close, (so close) just to be close (close)
It's the only thing that I wanna do
(That I wanna do)
Just to be close, (close to ya, baby)
Just to be close (close to you)
Just to be close to ya (baby, baby)
Just to be close

[Bridge: Brian, AJ & All]
I'm gonna give you all my love
I'm gonna give it to you
I'm gonna give it to you, all my love (all my love)
I'm gonna give it to you
I'm gonna give it to you, give you everything you need
(All my love) I'm gonna give it to you
I'm gonna give you all you want
To be close to you, to be close to you
Close to you, close to you

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Just to be close (just to be close)
Just to be close (is all I want)
It's the only thing (the only thing) that I wanna do
(That I wanna do)
Just to be close (just to be close)
Just to be close (so close)
Just to be close to ya (and hold you)
Just to be close

[Interlude: Brian & All]
I don't want to be alone
I'll never, never, never, ever let you go
Just wanna be close to ya
I don't want to be alone
Girl, I'll never, never, never, ever let you go
Just to be close

[Pre-Chorus 2: AJ & All]
There would never be (never be)
No one else for me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
You were like a dream that became reality, yeah!

[Chorus: All, AJ & Brian]
Just to be close
Just to be close (I wanna be close)
It's the only thing that I wanna do
(That I wanna do)
Just to be close (close, close)
Just to be close (close)
Just to be close to ya (I just wanna get close to you)
Just to be close

[Outro: All & Brian]
Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh
I just wanna be close to you

Backstreet Boys

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
