(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
"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
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Fell for the same thing twice
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Forgot my own advice
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
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
The closer I get
"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
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Fell for the same thing twice
So, so, so, so, so many times, I
Forgot my own advice
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
The closer I get
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Besties forever, lived in a backseat
Courtney in the front
Strange day in LA, rain on the 101
I took a 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
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
