Close To You - 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
