Billy Burnette - To Get Next To You Lyrics

Written by Billy Burnette and Chris Rodriguez.


First night I saw you it was clear to me
You were surrounded in mystery
Just one look drew me in
Haven't been the same since

You had me hooked right from the start
Lights went out and the room went dark
Though I was blind and could not see
Felt the heat so close to me

I never wanted anything quite so bad
You got something that I never had
I'd climb those mountains, swim these seas
There ain't nothing in the world that I would not do
To get next to you

If I were wise I'd be more cool
I'm not the kind to play the fool
You got me where I just can't think
Like a puppet on a string

Can't remember ever feeling this
I'd give it all for just one kiss
Coming or going I can hardly tell
You got me underneath your spell

I never wanted anything quite so bad
You got something that I never had
I'd climb those mountains, swim these seas
There ain't nothing in the world that I would not do
To get next to you
