Billy Burnette - To Get Next To You lyrics

rate me

Written by Billy Burnette and Chris Rodriguez.

First night I saw you it was clear to me

You were surrounded in mystery

Just one look drew me in

Haven't been the same since

You had me hooked right from the start

Lights went out and the room went dark

Though I was blind and could not see

Felt the heat so close to me

I never wanted anything quite so bad

You got something that I never had

I'd climb those mountains, swim these seas

There ain't nothing in the world that I would not do

To get next to you

If I were wise I'd be more cool

I'm not the kind to play the fool

You got me where I just can't think

Like a puppet on a string

Can't remember ever feeling this

I'd give it all for just one kiss

Coming or going I can hardly tell

You got me underneath your spell

I never wanted anything quite so bad

You got something that I never had

I'd climb those mountains, swim these seas

There ain't nothing in the world that I would not do

To get next to you
