Too Close
(Blue) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Oh how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh you're dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me
All the slow songs you requested
You're dancing like you're naked
Oh it's almost like
We're sexing

Yeah ooh I like it
No I can't deny it
But I know you can tell I'm excited

Step back you're dancing kind of close
I feel a little pull coming through
On you

Now girl I know you felt it
Before you know I can't help it
You know what I want to do

Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Oh how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh you're dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me

Baby us dancing so close
Ain't a good idea
'Cause now I want you now and here
The way that you shake it on me
Makes me want you so bad sexually

Step back you're dancing kind of close
I feel a little pull coming through
On you

Now girl I know you felt it
Before you know I can't help it
You know what I want to do

Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Oh how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh you're dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me

I love when you shake like that
I see that you like it like that
I love when you shake like that
I see that you like it like that

Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Oh how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh you're dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me

Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Oh how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh you're dancing real close




Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blue's song "Too Close" are about a lustful dance encounter between the singer and another person on the dance floor. The singer admits that he likes the feeling of intimacy between them, yet struggles to resist the temptation. They slow dance too close, and the intimacy between them is growing stronger than they can control. The request for slow songs, which have deep sexual undertones, has given way to sexual tension, which is obvious from their body language while dancing.

The lyrics express a kind of mental struggle, where the singer likes the feeling but cannot resist the temptation, evident in the following lyrics: "you're making it hard for me."


Overall, the lyrics of "Too Close" are a vivid portrait of a dance floor seduction which blurs the lines between sexual tension and intimacy. It describes the powerful pull of physical attraction that's too hard to resist when two people dance too close.

Im a versatile musician from Cape Town South Africa...( referred to as Cape kallit - coloured 😂😂)

I admire what black Americans ( to be particular ) has done with music ...
The invention of Rhytm & Blues in the earlier years , layed an exellent platform for what we heard during the late 80's up until the early 2000's ..

These guys ...( musicians , singers , producers , the dancing , the clothing , the marketing etc ) , have all contributed to my own repetoir and knowledge of music , as a whole ...Their influence opened my eyes to a much more bigger world than i was accustomed to..

From the steady , solid bassdrum ( that is emphasized upon , A LOT ) , to the minor guitar riffs , the smooth piano / keyboard chords , the slick bass guitar moves....
I simply love it..

This song here , is a typical example...Its execution is perfect ...every detail ...even the videography...👌👌...This is art of a different form
