Sittin' here in this chair waitin' on you
Aaaah baby, to see things my way
But not a word do you say
You won't even look my way, yah
Boy, I'm spending my dimes 
Wasting my time, 
Talking till 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

And boy you make me feel so insecure
You're so beautiful and pure 
Why must you be unkind

Boy, 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
I wanna get next to you

Boy, 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 
And I wanna get next to you

I wanna get next to you 
I wanna make you mine 
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
