Close to You

Maxi Priest - Close To You

She was a Jezabel, this Brixton queen

Living her life like a backstreet dream

Telling me lies when the truth was clear

I think she knew what I wanted to hear

Spinning me round like a wheel on fire

Walking a tightrope on love's highwire

Fatal attraction is where I'm at

There's no escape for me

I just wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you

And show you the way I feel

I feel love when I'm lying in the midnight hour

Holding you just like a dream

Love is never what it seems

When we touch, and you're holding me the way you do

Girl you make my dreams come true

You make my dreams come true

I just wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you

And show you the way I feel

She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars

She holds me back or she goes too far

Winding me up just to let me down

So emotionally gagged and bound

There was more to this than meets the eye

A devil woman locked inside

With the full moon rising I was scared

I think I was possessed

I just wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you

And show you the way I feel

I feel love everytime your body's next to mine

Something deep inside of me

Wants to love you endlessly

When we touch girl, you don't know how it makes me feel

I just can't believe it's real

I just can't believe it's real

I just wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you

And show you the way I feel

She had an attitude I can't explain

You never know if you're in the frame

Tying me up with elastic words

I'm on a countdown till I get hurt

Her blood was shot and she burned so bright

A neon sign there in the night

It's hard to say if I went too far

My heart still bears the scars

I just wanna be close to you

I just wanna be close to you

She was a Jezabel, this Brixton queen

Living her life like a backstreet dream

Telling me lies when the truth was clear

I think she knew what I wanted to hear

Spinning me round like a wheel on fire

Walking a tightrope on love's highwire

Fatal attraction is where I'm at

There's no escape for me

I wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you （I just wanna be close to you baby）

And show you the way I feel

I just wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you

And show you the way I feel
