Maxi Priest - Close To You

She was a Jezebel, this Brixton queen
Living her life like a back street 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 on tightrope, my love’s high wire
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 (Huh-huh-huh)

I feel love
Every time 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 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 frame
Tying me up with elastic words
I’m on the countdown till I get heart

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 the scars

I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
