Lyrics

[Intro]
Closer
Closer
Closer
Closer
Woo!
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my ear
Tellin' me that she wants to own me
To control me
[PreChorus]
Come closer
Come closer
[Chorus]
And 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
[Chorus]
And I just can't break myself away
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
[Verse 3]
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
[PreChorus]
She wants to own me
Come closer (Closer)
She says come closer
Hey
[Chorus]
And 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
[Chorus]
And I just can't break myself away
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
[Bridge]
Come closer
Come closer, come closer
Come closer, come closer
Come closer, come closer
[Bridge]
I just can't stop, no, whoa
I just can't stop, no, whoa (Just can't stop it, no, no)
I just can't stop, no, whoa (Just can't stop it, no)
I just can't stop, no (No, no, no, no)
[Chorus]
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell, I can't break (Can't break)
I just can't stop, I just can't stop (Said, I just can't stop)
I just can't stop, I just can't stop (Said that I just can't stop)
[Chorus]
And I just can't break myself away (Break myself, break myself)
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop, I just can't stop (Said that I just can't stop)
I just can't stop, I just can't stop, I just can't stop (Oh, said that I just can't stop)
[Outro]
And 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)
