Paroles: Toni Childs. Next to You.

I'd like to get next to you if you want me to
I'd like to get next to you if you want me to

I could hold you, maybe I could show you
But I'm afraid 'cause you see I have been hurt before
Though I don't wanna hurt no more
This feeling inside of me is strong in me, is strong in me

Could you tell me who you are? And would I really wanna know
What's it been for you just to trust and hold on to?

I'd like to get next to you whenever you want me to
I'd like to get next to you whenever you want me to

You could hold me, maybe you could show me
How to trust 'cause you see I have been hurt before
Though I don't wanna hurt no more
This feeling inside of me is strong in me, is strong in me

Could I tell you who I am? And would you really wanna know?
What it's been for me just to trust and to believe

I'd like to get next to you whenever you want me to
I'd like to get next to you whenever you want me to

I wanna get next to you whenever you want me to
I wanna get next to you whenever you want me to

Could I show you who I am? Would you really want to understand?
Holding skin to skin, my emotion feels like it has no end
Could I show you myself? Could I get right next to you?

Next to you

Toni Childs
