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'll feel the fire   But don't get burned   by the flame   You'll find the answer   anyday   With every beat of   my heart    I keep getting closer   to you    With every beat of my   heart now   I know we're gettin    closer   To love with every beat      I just wanna know you   More every day   And now 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 we're 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
