Close to You
Maxi Priest Lyrics

She was a Jezebel, this burstin' queen
She had a seductive aura and a fiery personality.

Livin' her life like a bad sweet dream
She had a carefree, hedonistic lifestyle that seemed pleasurable but ultimately brought trouble.

Tellin' me lies when the truth was clear
She knowingly deceived me despite knowing that I knew the truth.

I think she knew what I wanted to hear
She was conscious of my desires and manipulated me in order to get what she wanted.

Spinnin' around like a wheel on fire
My life felt like I was going around in circles, with no end in sight.

Walkin' the tightrope on love's highwire
I was taking a risk and stepping into dangerous territory by pursuing a romantic relationship with her.

A fatal attraction is where I'm at
I found myself irresistibly drawn to her despite the potential danger and negative consequences.

There's no escapin' me
I was fully committed to her and there was no way I could back out.

I just want to be close to you
My desire was to be near her and to have a deep romantic connection.

And do all the things you want me to
I was willing to do anything to make her happy and fulfill her desires.

And show you the way I feel
I wanted to express my feelings to her and make them known.

I feel love when I'm lying in the midnight hour
My strongest emotions of affection and passion came out when I was alone with her at night.

Holding you's just like a dream
Being close to her felt like an amazing fantasy come to life.

Love is never what it seems
Love can be complicated and unpredictable.

When we touch
The physical connection between us was intense and electrifying.

And you're holdin' me the way you feel
Her touch conveyed her true emotions to me more powerfully than words ever could.

Girl, you make my dreams come true
Being with her fulfilled all of my deepest wishes and desires.

She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
She had a strong and complex personality that was representative of her astrological sign and planetary alignment.

She holds me back but she goes too far
She was both alluring and captivating, but also had the potential to cause harm or get out of control.

Windin' me up just to let me down
She would build me up with her flirtatious behavior, only to ultimately disappoint me or hurt me.

So emotional gagged and bound
I was overwhelmed with emotions and felt suffocated by the intensity of the relationship.

There's more to this than meets the eye
There were hidden depths and complexities to our relationship that weren't immediately apparent.

A devil woman locked inside
She had a dark, mysterious side that was only revealed to me over time.

With the formal rising I was scared
As our relationship grew more intense, I became increasingly fearful of the consequences and potential harm that could come from it.

I think I was possessed
My feelings for her were so strong and all-consuming that they felt almost supernatural or beyond my control.

I feel love everytime your body's next to mine
Being physically close to her caused me to experience intense feelings of love and desire.

Somethin' deep inside of me
There was a powerful, almost primal urge within me that was unleashed when I was with her.

Wants to love you endlessly
My love for her knew no bounds and I desired to love her forever.

Girl, you don't know how it makes me feel
The intensity of my emotions towards her was beyond her comprehension.

I just can't believe it's real
The intensity of our connection was almost too good to be true and seemed almost surreal.

She had an attitude I can't explain
She had a complex and enigmatic personality that I couldn't fully understand.

You never know if your in flame
I was never sure if our passion was real or if it was just an illusion that would soon fade.

Tying me up with elastic words
She had a way with words that seemed to draw me in and keep me under her spell.

I'm on a countdown till I get hurt
I knew that getting involved with her was risky and could ultimately result in me getting hurt.

Her blood was hot she burned so bright
She had a fiery and passionate personality that was impossible to ignore.

A neon sign there in the night
She was impossible to miss and stood out like a bright, glowing light in my life.

It's hard to say if I went too far
I wasn't sure if I had crossed a line in our relationship that I couldn't come back from.

My heart still bears a scar
Even though our relationship was tumultuous and ultimately ended, the pain and memories still lingered on inside of me.
