Close To You
Gracie Abrams · 2024
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- (Close to you)
- (Close)
- (Close to you)
- I don't got a single problem with provocative
Echo the hook
- Just let me be
- Close to you, close to you, close to you
- (Just let me be) oh, close to you, close to you, close to you
- And now your mouth is moving, cinematic timing
