| [Verse 1] She was a Jezebel Miss Brixton queen Living her life like a bad sweet dream Telling me lies when the truth was clear I think she knew what I wanted to hear Spinning around Like a wheel on fire Walking the tightrope on love's highwire A fatal attraction is where I'm at There's no escaping me [Chorus] I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel [Verse 2] I feel love When I'm lying in the midnight hour Holding you's just like a dream Love is never what it seems When we touch And you're holding me the way you feel Girl, you make my dreams come true You make my dreams come true [Chorus] I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel [Verse 3] She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars She holds me back But she goes too far Winding me up just to let me down So emotional Gagged and bound There's more to this than meets the eye A devil woman locked inside With the formal rising I was scared I think I was possesed [Chorus] I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel I feel love Everytime your body's next to mine Somethin' deep inside of me Wants to love you endlessly When we touch Girl, you don't know How it makes me feel I just can't believe it's real I can't believe it's real! I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel [Verse 4] She had an attitude I can't explain You never know if your in flame Tying me up with elastic words I'm on a countdown till I get hurt Her blood was hot She burned so bright A neon sign there in the night It's hard to say if I went too far My heart still bears a scar [Chorus] I just wanna be close to you I just wanna be close to you I just wanna be close to you (She was a Jezebel This bursting queen Living her life like a bad sweet dream) Telling me lies When the truth was clear I think she knew what I wanted to hear I just wanna be close to you (Spinning around like a wheel on fire) Walkin' the tightrope on love's highwire A fatal attraction is where I'm at There's no escaping me I wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you (I just wanna be close to you, baby) And show you the way I feel I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel |
