Take a Closer Look At Me Lyrics


You ask me from time to time
About different girls that catch your eyes
Love is what you're looking for
But blind may my love you ignore
Standing right before your eyes
Is all the love you hope to find
So, throw away your little black book
If there's love you want, here I amJust take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look, you'll see in me
It's love is what you want, baby
Love is what you needThe girls you chose with no big hits
They struck out with every pitch
Each new day I never complain
But same results with different names
You come to me to straighten your life
Not with love but my advice
I'm your friend you know for sure

Can't you see I wanna be moreJust take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look, you'll see in me
Love, it's love is what you want, baby
Love is what you needHaven't you noticed how I find
Clever little ways to steal your time
Advice I gave for you to take
From other girls is for my sake
The very things I said to do
Are the lovely things I want from you
I don't wanna seemed so bold
If you can't see, you gotta be toldJust take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me

The Supremes were a very successful motown all-female singing group active from 1959 until 1977, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, soul, broadway showtunes, psychedelia, and disco. One of Motown's signature acts, The Supremes were the most successful African-American musical act of the 1960s, recording twelve #1 hits between 1964 and 1969, many of them written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. The crossover success of the Supremes during the mid-1960s paved the way for future black soul and R&B acts to gain mainstream audiences both in the United States and overseas.

Founded in Detroit, Michigan, United States in 1959, The Supremes began as a quartet called The Primettes. Founding members Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, all from the Brewster-Douglas public housing project in Detroit, were the sister act to The Primes (later The Temptations). In 1960, Barbara Martin replaced McGlown, and the group signed with Motown in 1961 as The Supremes. Martin left at the end of 1961, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson carried on as a trio. After they achieved success in the mid-1960s with Ross as the lead singer, Motown president Berry Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross & the Supremes in 1967, and replaced Ballard with Cindy Birdsong. Ross left the group for a solo career in 1970, and was replaced by Jean Terrell. After 1972, the lineup of the Supremes changed frequently, with Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne, and Susaye Greene all becoming members before the group ended its eighteen-year existence in 1977.
