Next To You Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

Why do I talk to myself all alone 

When I could be talking to you 

And why do I spend all my evenings alone 

When they should be spent with you. 

I'm getting so claustrophobic yet frightened to move 

Lest the telephone rings while I'm out 

For as long as I'm not sure, that you're not really sure 

That you've found someone who you prefer to me 

And there's still just a trace of a doubt in your mind 

I shall wind up the clock 

Switch the T.V. set off 

And sit right where I am 

Next to you. 

It always comes home to me 

How much I need to show yer 

How much I need you 

Why don't you come home to me 

And let me try to show yer 

How much I need you. 

Why don't you try to be more like yourself 

Heaven knows that's what I meant 

And why can't you see what you're doing to me 

Is it worth all the time we spent? 

I'm getting so indescribably slow in my thinking 

I don't seem to know what to do 

But as long as I'm not sure, that you're not really sure 

That you've found someone who you prefer to me 

And there's still just a trace of a doubt in your mind 

I shall wind up the clock 

Switch the central heat off 

And sit right where I am 

Where are you?
