Common - Come Close lyrics

rate me

(feat. Mary J. Blige)

[Intro]

[Common:] It's just a fly love song, what

[Mary J:] Mmmmm

[Common:] It's just a fly love song, what

[Verse: Common]

Are we living in a dream world?

Are your eyes still green girl?

I know your sick and tired of arguing

But you can't keep it bottled in

Jealousy, we got to swallow it

Your heart and mind baby follow it

Smile, happiness you could model it

And when you feel opposite

I just want you to know

Your whole being is beautiful

Im going to do the best I can do

Cause i'm the best when i'm with you

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

Come close to me baby

Let your love hold you

know this world is crazy

What's it without you

[Verse: Common]

Put down your bags love

I know in the past love

Has been sort of hard in you

But I see the God in you

I just want to nurture it

Though this love may hurt a bit

We dealing wit this water love

You even give my daughter love

I want to build a tribe wit you

Protect and provide for you

Truth is I can't hide from you

The pimp in me

May have to die with you

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I know what you're thinking, you're on my mind

You're right, you're right, you're right

You runnin' so fast you just might take flight

Hope your not tired, tonight, tonight

[Verse: Common]

You help me to discover me

I just want you to put trust in me

I kind of laugh when you cuss at me

The aftermath is you touching me

It's destiny to we connected girl

You and i we can affect the world

I'm tired of the fast lane

I want you to have my last name

[Chorus]

[Bridge (2x)]
