I WANNA GET NEXT TO YOU Writer Norman Whitfield Copyright 1976 Sittin' here in this chair waitin' on you Ah, baby, to see things my way But not a word do you say You won't even look my way Girl, I'm spending my dimes, wasting my time Talking ‘til I'm black and blue Ah, can't you see I wanna get next to you Dreams of you and I go sailing by Whenever your eyes meet mine (spoken)You're so fine And girl you make me feel so insecure You're so beautiful and pure Why must you be so unkind (spoken)and tell me I'm not your kind, blowin' my mind Girl my money is low and I know That I can't take you to the fancy places you might wanna go Still I wanna get next to you Ah 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 ‘Cause you're my dream come true I wanna get next to you 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 I wanna get next to you
