Maxi Priest - Close To You

She was a Jezabel, this Brixton queen
Living her life like a backstreet 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 a tightrope on love's highwire
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
She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
She holds me back or she goes too far
Winding me up just to let me down
So emotionally gagged and bound
There was more to this than meets the eye
A devil woman locked inside
With the full moon rising I was scared
I think I was possessed
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
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 just 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 the frame
Tying me up with elastic words
I'm on a countdown till I get hurt
Her blood was hot and 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

She was a Jezabel, this Brixton queen
Living her life like a backstreet 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 a tightrope on love's highwire
Fatal attraction is where I'm at
There's no escape for me
I 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 just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
