I wanna get next to you
I wanna get next to you
(2x)

I'm sitting here in this chair
Waiting for you, oh baby
To see things my way
But not a word you say
You won't even look my way, yeah
Girl, I'm spending my dime
Wasting my time
Talking till I'm black and blue

Oh can't you see
I wanna get next to you (2x) ooh
I wanna 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, blowing my mind
Girl, my money is low
And I know I cannot take you to the fancy places
You might wanna go

I wanna get next to you (3x)
Baby, yeah
Lalalalala? 
I wanna get next to you

Girl, you can bend me, shake me, make me
Whatever it takes to please you
I'm willing to do
'cos you're my dream come true

I wanna get next to you (2x)
I wanna make you mine for all time
I wanna get next to you
I promise I won't make you blue
I wanna get next to you (yes I do)
I wanna get next to you (oh baby)
