I want to Get Next To You
(I want to get next to you)
I want to get next to you
(I want to get next to you)
I want to get next to you
I’m sitting here
In this chair
Waiting on you, oh baby
To see things my way
But not to a word you say
You won’t even look my way, yeah
Refrain 1:
Girl, I’m spending my dimes
Wasting my time
Talking till I’m black and blue
Oh, can’t you see
Chorus:
(I want to get next to you)
I want to get next to you, ooh
(I want to get next to you)
Dreams of you and I go sailing by
Whenever your eyes meet mine
You’re so fine
(And girl, you make me feel) so insecure
You’re so beautiful and pure
Why must you be so unkind
Tell me I’m not your kind,
Blow my mind
Refrain 2:
Girl, my money is low
And I know that I can’t take you to the fancy places
You might want to go
Chorus 2:
(I want to get next to you) and I…
I want to get next to you
I want to get next to you, baby, yeah
Lalalalala……
I want to get next to you
Bridge:
Girl, you can bend me, shake me, make me
Whatever it takes to please you
I’m willing to do (I’m willing to do)
‘Cause you’re my dream come true
I want to get next to you, hoo hoo
I want to get next to you
I want to make you mine for all time
(I want to get next to you)
I promise I’ll never make you blue
(I want to get next to you)
Yes, i do
(I want to get next to you), oh, baby, baby
(I want to get next to you)
I promise I’ll never make you blue
(I want to get next to you)
