Closer
Closer
Closer
Closer

Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don't know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my ear
Telling me
That she wants to own me
To control me
Come closer
Come closer

[Chorus]
Oh I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
And I just can't break myself no way
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop

I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tongue
She's the sweetest taste of sin
The more I get the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer
She says "come closer"

[Chorus]

[Repeat: x7]
(Come closer)

[Repeat: x4]
I just can't stop no

[Chorus]

Oh I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
Come closer

    General Comment:How doesn't that make sense, Lorilie11? Stars usually shine at night in the darkness. And he's comparing her to a star. He doesn't mean she's literally going to shine, it's a metaphor.
    Anyway, I love this song. It's so seductive.

    General Comment:ok--well, I believe the lyrics are totally off..but, I could be wrong. I think instead of "She's the sweetest taste I've seen," I think it's "she's the sweeatest taste of sin," which would make more sense, since the song is obviously about a desire that he shouldn't have. He's full of lust and has become completely consumed by her. He just can't stop--but at the same time he doesn't want to. It's obviously a struggle, but he's weak.

    General Comment:This is the most sickening song i have ever herd wat kind of sik son of a bitch writes about raping his mum and doing her up the bum

    "And I just can`t pull myself away
    From the respect I can make
    I just cant stop"
    that basicly means mum i can't pull my dik out cause ur holding it in and dads home and he is going to catch us.

    "Turn the lights off in the place
    and she shines just like a star"

    General Comment:I can't stand this song. It's disturbing! at first I thought I liked it because I liked the message of being closer but after furthur examination- the song sucks.

    General Comment:Obvious he's beginningto succumb homosexuality.
    "Her" is an old hip-hop metaphor for "homsexuality", and that's clearly the context he's using it in.

    If you don't believe me just readthe lyrics as if it were what he meant, and you'll see it IS.

    General Comment:yupp..lrkrmo15's lyrics are right..yayy! =]

    i love this song..lol its my ringtone-well one of the many i have-and if my ex would call me and dedicate this song to me i would so go out with him in a heartbeat..ugh i miss him =/

    oh well the meaning of this song is pretty self explained..he loves her and cant/doesnt/wont forget about her and how he still wants to be with her.
    cute song=]

    General Comment:the second lyrics are the correct ones, thanks lrkrmo15

    this song is about infatuation-to me-and the initial feeling of someone who you are attracted to when they are stuck in your head and all you want is to be around them.
