(I wanna get next to you)
I wanna get next to you
(I wanna get next to you)
I wanna 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 wanna get next to you)
I wanna get next to you, 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,
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 wanna go

Chorus 2:
(I wanna get next to you) and I
I wanna get next to you
I wanna get next to you, baby, yeah

Lalalalala
I wanna 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 wanna get next to you, hoo hoo
I wanna get next to you
I wanna make you mine for all time
(I wanna get next to you)
I promise I'll never make you blue
(I wanna get next to you)
Yes, i do
(I wanna get next to you), oh, baby, baby
(I wanna get next to you)
I promise I'll never make you blue
(I wanna get next to you)
