Next To You
Ednaswap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay,
(You) took me over, let me find a way
I sold my house
I sold my motor, too
All I want is to be next To You
I'd rob a bank
You took me over,
Think I'm goin' insane
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
I've had a thousand girls or maybe more,
But I've never felt like this before
But I just don't know what's come over me,
You took me over, take a look at me
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you
So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all it is is just a love affair
You took me over baby, take me there
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
