[Pre-Chorus:]
I’ve been trying all night long, I put up with your favorite songs all night.
Tempted by your tainted love, I surely like for you to come inside my crystal ball, what can I do?

[Chorus:]
Is it true what they say you won’t give it away?
And I don’t know what to do to get next to you, next to you.
Every night, every day you just push me away.
Tell me what should I do to get next to you, next to you?

I’ve been trying all night long and I wanna get next to you.
I wrote about you baby in this song ’cause I wanna get next to you.
Next to you!
Better than koolaid sweet my buttercup, baby’s got a pretty face.
I got to have it, it’s another bad habit and I hope I’m not here too late.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

I’ve been trying all night long ’cause I wanna get next to you
I wrote about you baby in this song and I wanna get next to you
Next to you!
Next to you!
Come on!

[Solo]

Spent my money, teasing me honey, what should I do?
When you gonna show me, I think you owe me, come on baby, see it through.

A-a-a!
Next to you!
Next to you!
Next to you!

[Chorus:]
Is it true what they say you won’t give it away?
And I don’t know what to do to get next to you, next to you
Every night, every day you just push me away.
Tell me what should I do, what should I do, what should I do to get next to you, next to you, next to you?
