Lyrics

[00:22.65] She was a Jezabel, this Brixton queen
[00:25.27] Living her life like a backstreet dream
[00:27.71] Telling me lies when the truth was clear
[00:30.20] I think she knew what I wanted to hear
[00:32.61] Spinning me round like a wheel on fire
[00:35.21] Walking a tightrope on love's highwire
[00:37.72] Fatal attraction is where I'm at
[00:40.16] There's no escape for me
[00:42.04] I just wanna be close to you
[00:47.78] And do all the things you want me to
[00:51.60] I just wanna be close to you
[00:57.82] And show you the way I feel
[01:02.13] I feel love when I'm lying in the midnight hour
[01:10.50] Holding you just like a dream
[01:15.32] Love is never what it seems
[01:19.69] When we touch, and you're holding me the way you do
[01:27.94] Girl you make my dreams come true
[01:31.88] You make my dreams come true
[01:34.44] I just wanna be close to you
[01:40.25] And do all the things you want me to
[01:44.00] I just wanna be close to you
[01:50.25] And show you the way I feel
[01:55.04] She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
[01:57.70] She holds me back or she goes too far
[02:00.21] Winding me up just to let me down
[02:02.63] So emotionally gagged and bound
[02:05.24] There was more to this than meets the eye
[02:07.63] A devil woman locked inside
[02:09.98] With the full moon rising I was scared
[02:12.54] I think I was possessed
[02:14.48] I just wanna be close to you
[02:20.21] And do all the things you want me to
[02:23.90] I just wanna be close to you
[02:30.28] And show you the way I feel
[02:34.53] I feel love everytime your body's next to mine
[02:42.78] Something deep inside of me
[02:47.78] Wants to love you endlessly
[02:52.15] When we touch girl, you don't know how it makes me feel
[03:00.47] I just can't believe it's real
[03:04.53] I just can't believe it's real
[03:06.78] I just wanna be close to you
[03:12.71] And do all the things you want me to
[03:16.46] I just wanna be close to you
[03:22.53] And show you the way I feel
[03:27.32]
[03:47.60] She had an attitude I can't explain
[03:50.17] You never know if you're in the frame
[03:52.73] Tying me up with elastic words
[03:55.23] I'm on a countdown till I get hurt
[03:57.66] Her blood was shot and she burned so bright
[04:00.17] A neon sign there in the night
[04:02.60] It's hard to say if I went too far
[04:05.17] My heart still bears the scars
[04:07.04] I just wanna be close to you
[04:16.85] I just wanna be close to you
[04:26.76] She was a Jezabel, this Brixton queen
[04:30.13] Living her life like a backstreet dream
[04:32.68] Telling me lies when the truth was clear
[04:35.17] I think she knew what I wanted to hear
[04:37.48] Spinning me round like a wheel on fire
[04:40.28] Walking a tightrope on love's highwire
[04:42.66] Fatal attraction is where I'm at
[04:45.04] There's no escape for me
[04:47.98] I wanna be close to you
[04:53.09] And do all the things you want me to
[04:56.51] I just wanna be close to you just wanna be close to you
[05:01.72] And show you the way I feel
[05:06.72] I just wanna be close to you
[05:13.08] And do all the things you want me to
[05:16.46] I just wanna be close to you
[05:22.27] And show you the way I feel
