Comin' to you, honey, on the east side runnin' 
 And I ain't got time to waste
 Jump into the car in the back seat lovin' 
 But you keep me on the chase
 
 
 I've been trying all night long 
 I put up with your favorite songs all night
 Tempted by your tainted love 
 I surely like the way you come 
 Inside my crystal ball 
 What can I do?
 
 
 Is it true what they say, you won't give it away?
 And I don't know what to do to get next to you, next to you
 Every night, every day 
 You just push me away
 Tell me what should I do 
 To get next to you, next to you
 
 I've been trying all night long, and I want to get next to you
 I wrote about you, baby, in this song 'cause I want to get next to you
 Next to you
 
 Better than Kool-Aid sweet, my buttercup baby's got a pretty face
 I got to have it; it's another bad habit 
 And I hope I'm not here too late
 
 
 
 
 
 I've been trying all night long 'cause I want to get next to you
 I wrote about you, baby, in this song, and I want to get next to you
 Next to you
 
 Spent my money, teasing me, honey
 What should I do?
 When you gonna show me? 
 I think you owe me
 Come on, baby, see it through
 
 Next to you
 Next to you
 Next to you
 
 Is it true what they say, you won't give it away?
 And I don't know what to do to get next to you, next to you
 Every night, every day
 You just push me away
 Tell me what should I do
 What should I do?
 What should I do to get next to you?
 Next to you
 Next to you
 Next to you
 I've been trying all night long 
 'Cause I want to get next to you
