To Get Next To You Lyrics - Billy Burnette

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
