She was A Jezebel, this Brixton queen 00:03

Livin' the life like a back street dream 00:15

Tellin' mi lies when the truth was clear 00:18

I think she knew what I wanted to hear 00:20

Spinnin' mi 'round like a wheel on fire 00:23

Walkin' on tightrope, my love's high wire 00:25

Fatal attraction is where I'm at 00:28

There's no escapin' me 00:30

I just wanna be close to you 00:32

And do all the things you want me to 00:36

I just wanna be close to you 00:41

And show you the way I feel 00:47

I feel love 00:53

When I'm lying in the midnight hour 00:56

Holding you just like a dream 01:00

Love is never what it seems 01:05

When we touch 01:10

And you're holding me the way you feel 01:14

Girl, you make my dreams come true 01:18

You make my dreams come true 01:22

I just wanna be close to you 01:24

And do all the things you want me to 01:31

I just wanna be close to you (Huh) 01:37

And show you the way I feel (Huh-huh-huh) 01:40

She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars 01:45

She holds mi back or she too far 01:48

Windin' mi up just to let her down 01:49

So emotional, gagged and bound 01:49

There's more to this than meets the eye 01:50

A devil woman locked outside 01:53

With the full moon rising, I was scared 01:53

I think I was possessed 01:55

I just wanna be close to you 01:56

And do all the things you want me to 01:56

I just wanna be close to you (Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh) 01:57

And show you the way I feel 01:57

I feel love 01:58

Every time your body's next to mine 01:59

Something deep inside of me 02:00

Wants to love you endlessly 02:01

When we touch 02:02

Girl, you don't know how it makes me feel 02:06

I just can't believe it's real 02:09

I can't believe it's real 02:15

I just wanna be close to you 02:17

And do all the things you want me to 02:23

I just wanna be close to you 02:27

And show you the way I feel 02:31

She got an attitude, I can't explain 02:36

You never know if you're in frame 02:50

Tying me up with elastic words 02:52

I'm on the countdown till I get heard 02:55

Her blood was hot, she burned so bright 02:58

A neon sign there in the night 03:00

It's hard to say if I went too far 03:02

My heart still bears a scar 03:05

I just wanna be close to you 03:07

I just wanna be close to you (Huh-huh-huh-huh) 03:13

(I just wanna be close to you) She was A Jezebel, this Brixton queen 03:17

Lyrics:

[English]

She was A Jezebel, this Brixton queen

Livin' the life like a back street dream

Tellin' mi lies when the truth was clear

I think she knew what I wanted to hear

Spinnin' mi 'round like a wheel on fire

Walkin' on tightrope, my love's high wire

Fatal attraction is where I'm at

There's no escapin' me

I just wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you

And show you the way I feel

I feel love

When I'm lying in the midnight hour

Holding you just like a dream

Love is never what it seems

When we touch

And you're holding me the way you feel

Girl, you make my dreams come true

You make my dreams come true

I just wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you (Huh)

And show you the way I feel (Huh-huh-huh)

She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars

She holds mi back or she too far

Windin' mi up just to let her down

So emotional, gagged and bound

There's more to this than meets the eye

A devil woman locked outside

With the full moon rising, I was scared

I think I was possessed

I just wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you (Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh)

And show you the way I feel

I feel love

Every time your body's next to mine

Something deep inside of me

Wants to love you endlessly

When we touch

Girl, you don't know how it makes me feel

I just can't believe it's real

I can't believe it's real

I just wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you

And show you the way I feel

She got an attitude, I can't explain

You never know if you're in frame

Tying me up with elastic words

I'm on the countdown till I get heard

Her blood was hot, she burned so bright

A neon sign there in the night

It's hard to say if I went too far

My heart still bears a scar

I just wanna be close to you

I just wanna be close to you (Huh-huh-huh-huh)

(I just wanna be close to you) She was A Jezebel, this Brixton queen

Livin' the life like a back street dream

Tellin' mi lies when the truth was clear

I think she knew what I wanted to hear

(I just wanna be close to you) Spinnin' mi 'round like a wheel on fire

Walkin' on tightrope, my love's high wire

Fatal attraction is where I'm at

There's no escapin' me

I wanna be close to you

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you (I just wanna be close to you, baby)

And show you the way I feel

I wanna be close to you (Baby)

And do all the things you want me to

I just wanna be close to you

And show you the way I feel
