Lyrics
I Need To Be Next To You
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.
Been running from these feelings for so long,
Telling my heart I didn't need it,
Pretending I was better off alone.
But I know it was just a lie.
So afraid to take a chance again;
So afraid of what I feel inside.
(chorus:)
But I need to be next to you. (Need to be next to you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to share every breath with you. (Share every breath withyou.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to know I can see you smile each morning,
Look into your eyes each night,
For the rest of my life.
Here with you; here with you.
oh I
I need to be next to you.
(need to be next to you)
Right here with you is right where I belong.
I lose my mind if I can't see you.
Without you there's nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for.
I can't bare the thought of you not there;
I can't fight what I feel anymore.
(chorus)
I need to have your love next to mine
For all time.
Hold you for all my life.
I need to be next to you.
(chorus)
I need to feel you in my arms, baby!
oh, I oh, I (x2)
I need to be next to you.
oh, I oh I
