Next To You

Ready or not

Sometimes I wish I were the rain

So I could fall upon your body

Sometimes I wish I were the earth

You would be the water that surrounds me

To be the silk upon the bed you rest

To be the locket that falls between your breast

Just to exist within your space and time

I would be over you, my baby

Like the heavens and the skies

I wanna be next to you

Yes, I do

I wanna be next to you

I wanna feel every bit of your body

I wanna be next to you

Gotta have you, girl

I wanna be next to you

I would trade the rest of all my life

To live one minute with my arms around you

I'd walk a million miles around the world

Searching day and night until I found you

A matter of desperation seems to flood my soul

Baby, the hunger for your presence

Has begun to take its toll

I cannot calm the storm that's raging deep inside

And nothing compares to the lightning

And the thunder you provide

I wanna be next to you

I wanna be next to you

Gotta be next to you

I wanna be next to you

I wanna be next to you

Ready or not

Ready

I can unfold all of the mysteries of life

And I can obtain all understanding

With the help of the divine

And no matter how I try to make you lose your cool

Girl, out of all the love I've known

You're the exception to the rule

I wanna be next to you

I wanna be next to you

Next to you

I wanna be next to you

I wanna be next to you

Gotta be next to you

Ready or not

You rock, you can't hack it

I wanna be next to you

I need you, baby, in my life

I wanna be next to you

And I want you, honey, to be my wife

I wanna be next to you
