This song is written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
It was first recorded and released as a single in 1963 as "They Long to Be Close to You", without parentheses. 

In the discussion, we discussed about the relation between "Me" and  the longed-for boy is relations same as other girls or are dating relations.
Yuko-san has not thought that they are dating relations.

Anyway, this is the song which one song infatuation of the girl.
