Close To You Lyrics By Maxi Priest

    she was a jezebel
    miss brixton queen
    living her life like a bad sweet dream
    telling me lies when the truth was clear
    i think she knew what i wanted to hear

    spinning around
    like a wheel on fire
    walking the tightrope on love’s highwire
    a fatal attraction is where i’m at
    there’s no escaping 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’s just like a dream
    love is never what it seems

    when we touch
    and you’re holding me the way you feel
    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
    but she goes too far
    winding me up just to let me down

    so emotional
    gagged and bound
    there’s more to this than meets the eye

    a devil woman locked inside
    with the formal rising
    i was scared
    i think i was possesed

    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
    somethin’ 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 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 your in flame
    tying me up with elastic words
    i’m on a countdown till i get hurt

    her blood was hot
    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 a scar

    i just wanna be close to you
    i just wanna be close to you
    i just wanna be close to you
    she was a jezebel
    this bursting queen
    living her life like a bad sweet dream

    telling me lies
    when the truth was clear
    i think she knew what i wanted to hear

    i just wanna be close to you
    spinning around like a wheel on fire
    walkin’ the tightrope on love’s highwire
    a fatal attraction is where i’m at
    there’s no escaping 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
