Next To You
The Police Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay
You took me over, led me far away

I sold my house
I sold my motor, too
All I want is to be next to you
I'd rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane
You took me over
Think I'm goin' insane

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you

I've had a thousand girls or maybe more
But I've never felt like this before
But I just don't know what's come over me
You took me over, take a look at me

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you

All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you

So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all it is is just a love affair
You took me over baby, take me there

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)




All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (what can I do?)
