Next To You
Monoriff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I love ya
Oh, I need ya
Won′t you understand
Won't you understand
That I miss ya
And I′ll kill to
Just to hold your hand
Just to hold your hand

Oh, I've kept you close all night
In my head, it all felt right
This may be the time
You'll ever find me right

Right next to you
You
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la
You
You
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la

I can feel ya all around
I′m caught up in your flame
Nothing feels the same
No, I won′t blame ya
If you don't feel my touch
But let me hold your hand
Then you might understand

Oh, I′ve kept you close all night
In my head, it all felt right
This may be the time
You'll ever find me right

Right next to you
You
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la
You
You

Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la
You

Oh, I love ya
Oh, I need ya
Oh, I miss ya

Right next to you
You
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la
You
You
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la

Oh, I love ya
Oh, I need ya
Oh, I miss ya
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh, I love ya
Oh, I need ya
Oh, I miss ya




Oh-la-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la, ooh

Overall Meaning

In Monoriff's song "Next to You," the artist expresses intense feelings of love and longing. The song opens with a series of declarations that underscore how deeply the singer cares for someone else: "Oh, I love ya / Oh, I need ya / Won't you understand / That I miss ya." The repetition of the phrases "I love ya" and "I need ya" emphasizes the urgency of the singer's emotions, as does the plea for understanding. The next two lines are particularly striking, as the singer admits that they would be willing to do something extreme ("I'll kill to") just to hold the object of their affection's hand.


Throughout the song, the singer returns repeatedly to this idea of wanting to be physically close to the person they love ("This may be the time / You'll ever find me right / Right next to you"). This desire is especially poignant in the lines "No, I won't blame ya / If you don't feel my touch / But let me hold your hand / Then you might understand." Here, the singer acknowledges the possibility of rejection, but still hopes for a chance to make a connection.


The chorus of the song is largely made up of the repeated phrase "Right next to you" followed by a series of "oh-la-la-la-las." This simple repetition helps to create a sense of intense focus and desire, as the singer repeatedly fixates on this one person they long to be close to.
