I WANNA GET NEXT TO YOU

Rose Royce



Sittin' here in this chair waitin' on you

Ah baby, to see things my way

But not a word do you say

You won't even look my way

Boy, I'm spending my dimes, wasting

My time, talking till I'm black and blue

Ah, can't you see I wanna get next to you



Dreams of you and I go sailing by

Whenever your eyes meet mine

(You're so fine)

And boy you make me feel so insecure

You're so beautiful and pure,

Why must you be unkind

(And tell me I'm not your kind, blowin my mind)

Boy, my, my money is low and I know

That I can't take you to the

Fancy places you might wanna go

Still I wanna get next to you

I wanna get next to you



Boy, you can bend me, shake me, make me

Whatever it takes to please you

I'm willing to do

'Cause you're my dream come true

And I wanna get next to you



I wanna get next to you

I wanna make you mine (for all the time)

I wanna get next to you

I promise I'll never make you blue

I wanna get next to you

I wanna get next to you
