The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I want you closer

I want you closer

I want you in my dirty hands

I want to touch you in your body, gonna let your baby, down

I want you every night I please

Want you to bend, want you to tease

Want you to take me down on your knees

Wanna let your baby down

And you can take me higher in your zone

If you tell me your name, I'll take you home

And you can take my pain, I've got loads

I wanna let your baby down.

(Lisa's verse)

I want you to take me closer

I want you to make me suffer

I want you to wear me out, no I'll let you down (??)

I'll let your baby down

And you can take me out, all night long

And you can turn my stones into gold

If you tell me your real name, I'll take you home

I wanna let your baby down

Yeah, you can take me out, all night long

And you can take my pain, cos I've got loads

If you tell me your real name, I'll take you home

I wanna let your baby down

I want you closer

I want you in my dirty hands (you're gonna let your baby down)

Want you to let me in your body (you're gonna let your baby down)

I want you every night I please

Want you to bend, want you to tease

Want you to take me down on your knees

You can take me out, all night long

And you can turn my stones, into gold

And if you tell me your real name, I'll take you home

I wanna let your baby...

I wanna let you

Make me out, all night long

And you can turn my pain into gold

Yeah, if you tell me your real name, I'll take you home

I wanna let your baby...

I wanna let your baby...

I wanna let your baby...

I wanna let your baby
