Next To You
Hurricane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the guys up and down the street
They want to own you
They walk with you
Talk with you
They'd like to rock with you baby
They don't know you
You like to keep 'em hangin' on a string
Dancin' in your hand
It doesn't matter what you do
Baby I'm your man

I'm gonna get next to you
I'm gonna be where you are
I'm goin' direct to you
I'm gonna be ooh, ooh
Oh next to you

You like to think you got it all wired up
And no can touch you
When push comes to shove
And your lookin' for love
Baby no one
Can do it like I do
Every night before you go to sleep
I'll be on your mind
You can fight it
But your heart's tellin' you this time

You might think that
I'm like all of the rest year
But I'm so serious
Stone cold serious




You don't want to miss
What you know is the best
