[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

Girl, my money is low
And I know that I can't take you to the fancy places
You might wanna go

[I wanna get next to you] and I...
I wanna get next to you
I wanna get next to you, baby, yeah

I wanna get next to you

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
