Lyrics
0:22She was a Jezabel this Brixton queen
0:25Living her life like a backstreet dream
0:27Telling me lies when the truth was clear
0:30I think she knew what I wanted to hear
0:32Spinning me round like a wheel on fire
0:35Walking a tightrope on love's highwire
0:37Fatal attraction is where I'm at
0:40There's no escape for me
0:42I just wanna be close to you
0:47And do all the things you want me to
0:51I just wanna be close to you
0:57And show you the way I feel
1:02I feel love when I'm lying in the midnight hour
1:10Holding you just like a dream
1:15Love is never what it seems
1:19When we touch and you're holding me the way you do
1:27Girl you make my dreams come true
1:31You make my dreams come true
1:34I just wanna be close to you
1:40And do all the things you want me to
1:44I just wanna be close to you
1:50And show you the way I feel
1:55She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
1:57She holds me back or she goes too far
2:00Winding me up just to let me down
2:02So emotionally gagged and bound
2:05There was more to this than meets the eye
2:07A devil woman locked inside
2:09With the full moon rising I was scared
2:12I think I was possessed
2:14I just wanna be close to you
2:20And do all the things you want me to
2:23I just wanna be close to you
2:30And show you the way I feel
2:34I feel love everytime your body's next to mine
2:42Something deep inside of me
2:47Wants to love you endlessly
2:52When we touch girl you don't know how it makes me feel
3:00I just can't believe it's real
3:04I just can't believe it's real
3:06I just wanna be close to you
3:12And do all the things you want me to
3:16I just wanna be close to you
3:22And show you the way I feel
3:47She had an attitude I can't explain
3:50You never know if you're in the frame
3:52Tying me up with elastic words
3:55I'm on a countdown till I get hurt
3:57Her blood was shot and she burned so bright
4:00A neon sign there in the night
4:02It's hard to say if I went too far
4:05My heart still bears the scars
4:07I just wanna be close to you
4:16I just wanna be close to you
4:26She was a Jezabel this Brixton queen
4:30Living her life like a backstreet dream
4:32Telling me lies when the truth was clear
4:35I think she knew what I wanted to hear
4:37Spinning me round like a wheel on fire
4:40Walking a tightrope on love's highwire
4:42Fatal attraction is where I'm at
4:45There's no escape for me
4:47I wanna be close to you
4:53And do all the things you want me to
4:56I just wanna be close to you (I just wanna be close to you baby)
5:01And show you the way I feel
5:06I just wanna be close to you
5:13And do all the things you want me to
5:16I just wanna be close to you
5:22And show you the way I feel
She was a Jezabel this Brixton queen Living her life like a backstreet dream Telling me lies when the truth was clear I think she knew what I wanted to hear Spinning me round like a wheel on fire Walking a tightrope on love's highwire Fatal attraction is where I'm at There's no escape for me I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel I feel love when I'm lying in the midnight hour Holding you just like a dream Love is never what it seems When we touch and you're holding me the way you do Girl you make my dreams come true You make my dreams come true I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars She holds me back or she goes too far Winding me up just to let me down So emotionally gagged and bound There was more to this than meets the eye A devil woman locked inside With the full moon rising I was scared I think I was possessed I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel I feel love everytime your body's next to mine Something deep inside of me Wants to love you endlessly When we touch girl you don't know how it makes me feel I just can't believe it's real I just can't believe it's real I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel She had an attitude I can't explain You never know if you're in the frame Tying me up with elastic words I'm on a countdown till I get hurt Her blood was shot and she burned so bright A neon sign there in the night It's hard to say if I went too far My heart still bears the scars I just wanna be close to you I just wanna be close to you She was a Jezabel this Brixton queen Living her life like a backstreet dream Telling me lies when the truth was clear I think she knew what I wanted to hear Spinning me round like a wheel on fire Walking a tightrope on love's highwire Fatal attraction is where I'm at There's no escape for me I wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you (I just wanna be close to you baby) And show you the way I feel I just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel
