Next to You
Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stand it for another day
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
Maybe steal a plane
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
