Closer To Me

You slept on the
Other side of the bed
You're holding feelings again
Lay them demons to rest
Can't you see that we're blessed?
That's that season of stress
Went four seasons instead
Came back seasoned with dreads
Caribbean's the best
Oh, I love you to death, but don't kill me, mami
I don't trust you with them 'cause they don't feel me, mami
We got a past and we got history, that's just half the story
And now's the present, we got future, not Ciara story

Hope we go the distance (yeah)
Hope I give you infants (yeah)
Hope I teach 'em wisdom
Hope our homes in Britain (Oh, yeah)
You're my solar system (Yeah)
That's in pole position (Yeah)
I'm not in poor position (Yeah)
Got mami, grow you different (Oh, yeah)

I know you feel it in vibe
When I'm deep between your thighs, now
I'll always be your guide just like I
Always make you smile, but I
Saw it in your eyes that I
Hurt you when I lied but I don't
Want no silent night
Let's put those differences aside

Come closer to me
Anyway you are, inna me deh yuh heart
That's the reason where you are
Come closer to me
Come closer in my arms
Come closer, inna me yard
Come closer to me
Nuffah dem shape like Cobra
They say I'm almost to you
Come closer to me
And live life twice over with me

My voice can get you startled
But to argues part and parcel
Now your birthday's pass the parcel
All these gifts have got you startled
We got memories for memories
That's around a Hennessy
Bottles to the jealousy
Pour 'em out and let 'em pree
The buy over Tenerife
Full play in Lebanese
We didn't make it to the beach
We just made it to the suite
Upstairs we were runnin' up the stairs
Touch there, you don't wanna double dare
Fuck fare, guess you really come prepared
Bum scared 'til we blow it up in there

Tell me that we're okay
If we're really okay
Show me that we're okay
Tell me that we're okay
If we're really okay
Show me that we're okay

Come closer to me
Anyway you are, inna me deh yuh heart
That's the reason where you are
Come closer to me
Come closer in my arms
Come closer, inna me yard
Come closer to me
Nuffah dem shape like Cobra
They say I'm almost to you
Come closer to me
And live life twice over with me

My grandfather used to buy Merrimints, uh
Happy that grandmother married him, yeah
Them two showed me what a marriage is, uh
Go and pick your dress up off the mannequin then
Pick that dress up off the floor
Can't I put you on all fours?
This is not for either or
This is for rich or for poor
You was christened in Dior
I was christened on my tour
Through ferries when I perform
This is solely from the Lord, so

Come closer to me
Anyway you are, Inna me deh yuh heart
That's the reason where you are
Come closer to me
Come closer in my arms
Come closer, inna me yard
Come closer to me
