Close To Me
J.Howell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love it when
Your body’s so damn close to me
I can smell your perfume
You’ve got your hands all over me
I’m gripping your waist
And you are caressing me
You are the only one I see
There ain’t nobody else for me
Close to me
Stay close to me baby
I love you so
Forever be my lady
Damn you fine
How could I ever let you go
Checkin you now... girl I wanna
Step back and let me admire the way your body moves
You ain’t got nothing to prove
You just like to do what it do
Your one of a kind
And I’m so glad your mine




Good girls are hard to find
I had to make you mine

I love ya smile
I love your curls
And I love the way you make me feel
And there's not doubt or question I can't answer
When it comes to knowing that this love is real
But I don't wanna break ya heart no
But if you choose to stay with me
That could be the worst mistake
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
I don't feel worthy love
But you choose to lay with me
When I can be a dick in the morning
And sometimes I'm indecisive at night
One minute I want you here
Next minute need my space
But I can't stand to be alone
And I don't wanna let go
But you getting to close me
Cause you getting to close me
And I'm afraid to let my guard down
It's much easier to walk out
I hate the way you read my mind
I promise I can't never
Keep my thoughts inside
Can't hold back all my deepest flaws
You want it all
You just wanna see me
And that's scarier to me
Cause what if I show you the real me
Show you I'm broken and needy
What if it's not what the hypes about
Would you still love me in spite of that
Promise that you'll never leave me
Promise you'll always be there babe
When I'm down and out feeling low
When I can be a dick in the morning
And sometimes I'm indecisive at night
One minute I want you here
Next minute need my space
But I can't stand to be alone
And I don't wanna let go
But you getting to close me
Love ain't easy but it matters
Probably best without it
Cause you getting to close me
And I'm afraid to let my guard down
It's much easier to walk out
