Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Won't you come close to me now?
Now?
Won't you come close to me now?
Now?
Now?
Now?
[Verse 2]
Here I am, baby
Right back in your arms
Yeah, oh yeah
What is it 'bout your love
That draws me to you?
[Verse 3]
And though this is not the first time, baby
That I ever wanted to get away, no
Ooh, but the magic of your love
Just would not let me stray
[Verse 4]
So I find that I just can't
Stay away from you, baby
From you
Ooh
Yeah
You see, I just can't
(Just can't, just can't, just can't, just can't)
Stay away from you
[Verse 5]
Lemme tell ya
I've been through a lot of changes
You see
My mama scorned me
Oh, yes she did
And my closest friends
Oh Lord
You know, they warned me
They said you're no good for me
(You're no good for me)
But i just ignored it
Yes, I did
'Cause I didn't have time, no time, no time
No time to sit around and decide on what to do
(Just sick by our love and time)
You know when someone controls your mind
There's not much you can do
[Verse 6]
So, you see, that's why I, I, oh, I
(Trusted)
I can't stay away
I don't wanna
From you
It's not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me
[Verse 7]
(Just can't, just can't, just can't, just can't)
Oh, I can't stay away (Stay away)
Been so good to me (From you)
I just love that man
Hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
[Verse 8]
(Just can't, just can't, just can't, just can't)
Just can't, don't want to, I can't, no way
(Feels so good to be my baby)
Hoo, hoo
(From you)
I don't wanna go
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, baby, oh, oh
(Just can't, just can't, just can't, just can't)
Hoo
(Feels so good to me, my baby)
I can't stay away from you
(From you)
Baby, now
Down on my knees
Hold me, darlin', I'm beggin' you, please
(Just can't)
Hold me, darlin' 'cause I just can't stay away
(Stay away)
From you, baby
(From you)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no
No, no
No, no
Hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo
(Just can't)
I, I, just love, baby
(Stay away)
Hoo, hoo, hoo
(From you)
