Next To You Lyrics

Try to pretend that you are comfortable
I guess I know you better than you think
Try to pretend that you are far away
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink
How could you try to forget what we once had
Better not tell anyone it was bad
Sorry I can't get any further away
You better deal cause I'm gonna stayNext to you, I never wanted to, but now that I'm
Next to you, I just can't help myself being
Next to you, there isn't anyone else
That I would rather doTry to pretend that you don't get a small chill
Every single time that I pass you
Try to pretend that you don't want a big thrill
Even half as much as I know you do
I knew you couldn't forget what you once had
Even though it ended so awfully bad
I'm sure the second round won't end the same way
You'd better hope cause I'm gonna stayNext to you, I never wanted to, but now that I'm

Next to you, I just can't help myself being
Next to you, there isn't anyone else
That I would rather doTry to pretend that you are comfortable
I guess I know you better than you think
Try to pretend that you are far away
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink
Don't think of running away cause I'll catch you
And make you sorrier than you ever knew
I know I've lost it - I don't care, so anyway
You'd better deal cause I'm gonna stayNext to you, I never wanted to, but now that I'm
Next to you, I just can't help myself being
Next to you, there isn't anyone else
That I would rather doNext to you, next to you, next to you, next to you.
