Tekst piosenki
She was a jezebel, this Brixton queen Livin' the life like a back street dream Tellin' me lies when the truth was clear I think she knew what I wanted to hear Spinnin' me 'round like a wheel on fire Walkin' on tightrope, my love's high wire Fatal attraction is where I'm at There's no escapin' me I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel I feel love When I'm lying in the midnight hour Holding you just like a dream Love is never what it seems When we touch And You're holding me the way you do Girl, you make my dreams come true You make my dreams come true I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars She holds me back or she too far Windin' me up just to let her down So emotional, gagged and bound There's more to this than meets the eye A devil woman locked inside With the full moon rising, I was scared I think I was possessed I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel I feel love Every time your body's next to mine Something deep inside of me Wants to love you endlessly When we touch Girl, you don't know how it makes me feel I just can't believe it's real I can't believe it's real I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel She got an attitude I can't explain You never know if You're in frame Tying me up with elastic words I'm on the countdown till I get heard Her blood was hot, she burned so bright A neon sign there in the night It's hard to say if I went too far My heart still bears a scar I just wanna be close to you I just wanna be close to you (I just wanna be close to you) She was a jezebel, this Brixton queen Livin' the life like a back street dream Tellin' me lies when the truth was clear I think she knew what I wanted to hear I just wanna be close to you Spinnin' me 'round like a wheel on fire Walkin' on tightrope, my love's high wire Fatal attraction is where I'm at There's no escapin' me I wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you I just wanna be close to you, baby And show you the way I feel I wanna be close to you baby And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel
