Common - Come Close To Me (featuring Mary J. Blige) Lyrics
Are we livin' in a dream world?
Are ya' eyes still green girl?
I know you're sick 'n tired of arguing,
But you can't keep it bottled in,
Jealousy, we gotta swallow it,
Your heart and mind, baby, follow it,
Smile, happiness you can model it,
And when you feel opposite,
I just want you to know,
Your whole being is beautiful
I'mma do the best I can do,
Cuz I'm the best when I'm with you.
Chorus: Mary J. Blige
Come close to me baby,
Let your love hold you
Though this world gets crazy,
What's it with out you? (Nothin, nothin)
Verse 2: Common
Put down your bags, love.
I know in the past, love,
Has been sorta hard on you
But, I see the God in you.
I just wana nurture it,
Though this love may hurt a bit
We dealin wit this water, love.
You even give my daughter love
I wana build a tribe wit'chu,
Protect and provide for you.
Truth is i can't hide from you
The pimp in me, may have to die for you.
Chorus: Mary J. Blige
Come close to me baby,
Let your love hold you
Though this world gets crazy,
What's it with out you?
Bridge: Mary J. Blige
I know what'ya' thinkin, you're on my mind
You're right, you're right, you're right
You promised the flesh was just mine, take time
Hope you're not tired, Tonite, tonite.
Verse 3: Common
You helped me to discover me,
I just want you to be trustin me
I kinda laugh when you cuss at me
The after math is you touchin me
Its destiny that we connected girl
You and I, we can affect the world
I'm tired of the fast lane,
I want you to have my last name
Chorus: Mary J. Blige
Come close to me baby,
Let your love hold you
Though this world gets crazy,
What's it with out you?
Bridge: Mary J. Blige
I know what'ya' thinkin, you on my mind
You're right, you're right, you're right
You promised the flesh was just mine, take time
Hope you're not tired, Tonite, tonite (Repeat.)
