(I wanna get next to you) 
I wanna get next to you 
(I wanna get next to you) 
I wanna get next to you 
I'm sitting here 
In this chair 
Waiting on you, oh baby 
To see things my way 
But not to a word you say 
You won't even look my way, yeah 

Girl, I'm spending my dimes 
Wasting my time 
Talking till I'm black and blue 
Oh, can't you see 

 (I wanna get next to you) 
I wanna get next to you, ooh 
(I wanna get next to you) 
Dreams of you and I go sailing by 
Whenever your eyes meet mine 
You're so fine 
(And girl, you make me feel) so insecure 
You're so beautiful and pure 
Why must you be so unkind 
Tell me I'm not your kind, 
Blow my mind 

Girl, my money is low 
And I know that I can't take you to the fancy places 
You might wanna go 

(I wanna get next to you) and I... 
I wanna get next to you 
I wanna get next to you, baby, yeah 
Lalalalala...... 
I wanna get next to you 

Girl, you can bend me, shake me, make me 
Whatever it takes to please you 
I'm willing to do (I'm willing to do) 
'Cause you're my dream come true 
I wanna get next to you, hoo hoo 
I wanna get next to you 
I wanna make you mine for all time 
(I wanna get next to you) 
I promise I'll never make you blue 
(I wanna get next to you) 
Yes, i do 
(I wanna get next to you), oh, baby, baby 
(I wanna get next to you) 
I promise I'll never make you blue 
(I wanna get next to you)
