Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tododo dun dododo
Everything ends sometimes
Even you and me, my lady
And I don't know when
The bottom might fall out
The only thing I know
I just wanna stay
Next to you
Right next to you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
And everything is fine on bright days
When the rays are shining baby
But if you feel the rain
Girl just call my name
I'm next to you baby, yeah
Oh, next to you baby
Next to you baby
Tododo dun dododo
To-to dun toto
Tododo tododo
Yeah
And everyone's got a loving side
But it ain't quite like yours and mine, oh no
And ever since I met you I
I'll never be the same
There's nothing you could name that I wouldn't do
Yeah
Oh yeah
The only thing I know
I just wanna stay
Next to you
Right next to you
Next to you
Right next to you
Yeah, yeah

Malheureusement ca marchera pas en France... Mais bordel c'est si bon 🔥. Les vrais fans de soul son derrière toi Ben 🙌🏻.
Niko Green
Honnêtement, "marcher" en France à part la soupe vocodeur actuelle et les vielles stars et ceux qui sont diffusés massivement à la radio, les autres survivent... donc je lui souhaite une belle tournée internationale remplie de ferveur et de bonheur acoustique
Darius Kokoszko
faut aller au concert cest le meilleur moyen d'aider les artistes acheter un cd ou il auras 30 centimes ca sert a rien
Niko Green
@Darius Kokoszko tout à fait :) (pour le cd ça dépend du deal...)
Maël01
@Darius Kokoszko ça dépend de son deal ! Et pis même... 30c + 30c + 30c.... 🤷🏻♂️
Claudia MIRAY
Moi, un bijou pareil, j'achète.
