Ne-Yo - Closer
[Intro]
Closer
Closer
Closer
Closer
[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
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
[Pre-Hook]
Come closer
Come closer
[Hook]
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
And I just can't bring 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
1st single from the Year Of The Gentleman Ne-Yo told The Boston Globe that he wanted to do something that was very much U.K.-inspired, for this song, "very much along the lines of house, trance, techno, but I knew I couldn't do a straight-up house record or a straight-up techno record. I had to do something that had elements of it but still had elements of R&B, which is my base." For more info and trivia on Closer check out http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=11523.
