Next To You
Subshock & Evangelos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you hanging by the club again
You wore that dress that made you stand out from your friends
I took a moment to hesitate
You had me feeling more than I could comprehend
Don't wanna tell you you're beautiful
These guys ain't nothing when they're next to you, oh, God

I know that this sounds so typical
But I can't love you when I know it's not enough
What you sayin', babe?
You drive me crazy
You don't wanna be lonely
You were my friend

You don't wanna be lonely

Then we headed to my place
You took your dress off, and you whispered in my ear
"Boy, you make me feel beautiful
With you, I know there's nothing else to fear"
The sun came up, we couldn't get enough
My eyes were tired, and I was in love
I held you close to me
Oh, girl, there ain't nobody

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
You don't wanna be lonely
You were my friend





You don't wanna be lonely
