Lyrics I Wanna Get Next To You (Live) - Rose Royce

Ooh-wee
I can tell you're not ready to go home yet, are you?
Alright, now what I want you to do
First of all, I want all the ladies in the house to raise their hands right now
All the ladies, I want you to kinda swim a little bit just like this
If you know the words to this song, I want you to sing along
As long as I wanna get next to you
And it goes out to you, you and especially you
And it goes something just, just like this

I'm sittin' here in this chair waitin' on you
You know, baby, to see things my way
But not a word do you say
You won't even look my way, yeah

Girl, I'm spendin' my dimes, wastin' my time
I'ma talk until I'm black and blue

Uh, can't you see?
I wanna get next to you

Uh, and yeah, any lovers out there I see?
Any lovers out there?
Well, then this goes to you

Dreams of you when 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 unkind?
Tell me, I'm not your kind
Blowin' my mind

Girl, my, 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
And I wanna get next to you

Once again, here's the space
Baby, yeah

How about it?
Alright

Girl, you can bend me, shape me, make me
Whatever it takes to please you, I'm willin' to do
'Cause you're my dream come true
And I wanna get next to you

Baby, yeah
I wanna get next to you
I wanna make you mine for all of time (I wanna get next to you)

I promise I'll never make you blue (I wanna get next to you)
So, let love begin between me and you (I wanna get next to you)
Girl, I, I'm in love with you (I wanna get next to you)
Woo

I, I just wanna get
I just want to get
You make me feel so very-very nice
You make me feel so very-very nice
That all I wanna do...
All I wanna do
I just wanna squeeze you, squeeze you
Squeeze you, squeeze you
Squeeze...
Yes, I do

Can you meet me in a dressing room?
Not now, but right after the show
I just wanna get, hey, yeah
You...
You, hey-ooh

Give it up, Ladies and Gentlemen
Mr. Kenneth Ray Copeland
Give it up, yes
Hey, alright!
Hang on it
