I WANNA GET NEXT TO YOU
Writer Norman Whitfield
Copyright 1976
Sittin here in this chair waitin on you
Ah, baby, to see things my way
But not a word do you say
You wont even look my way
Girl, Im spending my dimes, wasting my time
Talking til Im black and blue
Ah, cant you see
I wanna get next to you
Dreams of you and I go sailing by
Whenever your eyes meet mine
(spoken)Youre so fine
And girl you make me feel so insecure
Youre so beautiful and pure
Why must you be so unkind
(spoken)and tell me Im not your kind, blowin my mind
Girl my money is low and I know
That I cant take you to the fancy places you might wanna go
Still I wanna get next to you
Ah I wanna get next to you
Girl you can bend me, shake me, make me
Whatever it takes to please you Im willing to do
Cause youre my dream come true
I wanna get next to you
I wanna get next to you
I wanna make you mine for all time
I wanna get next to you
I promise Ill never make you blue
I wanna get next to you
I wanna get next to you
