Next To You
Ciara & R.Kelly Lyrics

I hope I don't make you mad
I am worried that what I am about to say might anger you.

With what I'm bout to say boy
I am hesitant but I want to express what's on my mind.

Here we are once again
We are in this situation again.

And I'm having second thoughts boy
I am doubting my original decision.

I'm not messing with you head
I'm not trying to deceive you.

But I changed my mind boy
I have a different opinion now.

I don't know why I'm here
I am unsure of the reason for being here.

At the same time I want you near
Despite my confusion, I still like being close to you.

If you want me to leave
If you prefer me to exit the situation.

I will understand
I'll respect your opinion.

See I would just have to respect
I acknowledge your decision and validate your opinion.

Your wishes boy
Whatever you want or desire.

Cause if I stay ain't no telling
If I continue to stay, it might lead to more uncertain events.

What may happen boy
Any number of things could occur in this situation.

Although you look so good to me
I am physically attracted to you.

It's best that I leave
Perhaps it's better for me to depart the situation.

I'm scared of being next to you
I am afraid of what might happen in your proximity.

Because of what I think I might do
I am afraid that I'll act according to these thoughts if I am close to you.

Boy your turning me on right now
Your actions are making me feel aroused at the moment.

Can't get down like that right now
I'm not ready for intimacy at this moment.

Don't want to disturb the flow
I don't want to disrupt the current peaceful state of our environment.

But this is not my M.O.
But this kind of situation doesn't fit my standard modus operandi.

Hold up wait a minute movin' too fast
Wait! We may be moving too quickly.

I want somethin' like this here to last
I want a long-lasting relationship instead of a brief moment of intimacy.

Don't say no baby
I hope you don't refuse me.

Not right now baby
Not at this exact moment, please.

I want to be your lady
I want to be in a committed relationship with you.

You got me going crazy
You're making me feel excited and anxious.

Well, I guess I'll stay for a minute
I'll stick around for a little longer.

Then I have to go boy
But then I must leave soon after.

This moment is so temptin'
I am strongly attracted to you at this moment.

Right now it's not what I want boy
However, at present, I don't wish for intimacy.

Maybe if we just embrace
Perhaps a kiss or a hug is acceptable.

With a simple kiss boy
Just a brief and simple kiss.

But that'll only make things worse
But that might complicate things more.

Hope I'm not getting on your nerves boy
Hoping that I am not annoying you.

I just want it to be right for both of us
I desire that everything between us is perfect.

When you don't have to say a thing to make me comfortable
Being in your presence is enough for me to feel relaxed.

Boy you make me so weak when you look at me
When you gaze at me, I feel powerless and vulnerable.

But right now I'm a little confused
But currently, I am not sure what I want in this situation.

I think it's best that I refuse
I think it's better if I decline your advances.

Supposed to be playing cards
At first, we were just supposed to play cards.

Or watching a movie
Or maybe just watch a movie together.

But we keep locking eyes boy
But instead, we can't seem to take our eyes off one another.

Now, why you trying ta tease me
Are you intentionally trying to excite me?

This room is getting heated
The atmosphere of the room is feeling more intimate.

Would you open a window
Could you please open a window to cool down the room's temperature?

I think I should go now
I feel like it would be better for me to leave now.

Cause I can't take this no more
I can't handle this level of intimacy any longer.

I'm scared of being next to you
I am afraid of what might happen in your proximity.

Because of what I think I might do
I am afraid that I'll act according to these thoughts if I am close to you.

Boy, you're turning me on right now
Your actions are making me feel aroused at the moment.

Can't get down like that right now
I'm not ready for intimacy at this moment.

Don't want to disturb the flow
I don't want to disrupt the current peaceful state of our environment.

But this is not my M.O.
But this kind of situation doesn't fit my standard modus operandi.

Hold up wait a minute movin' too fast
Wait! We may be moving too quickly.

I want somethin' like this here to last
I want a long-lasting relationship instead of a brief moment of intimacy.
