Too Close
Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In the song "Too Close" by Blue, the singer talks about a moment when he is dancing with someone, and they are dancing very close to each other. The close proximity and the way she is dancing is making him feel excited in a sexual way. He cannot help but feel this way, even though he knows it is not a good idea to act on his feelings. He asks her to step back and tries to control himself, but he confesses that he is really drawn to her and wants her sexually. The song ends with the singer expressing his difficulty in resisting her as they continue to grind on each other.
