Get Close Lyrics – The Rolling Stones ft. Elton John
Get Close Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mick Jagger]
Listen
I walk the city at midnight with the past strapped to my back
Lately I can't get no sleep, I'm a real insomniac
I was chatting with a ghost, wants a hundred and a match
Says, "I know you got the money, where's the man behind the mask?"
[Chorus: Mick Jagger & Elton John]
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you
[Verse 2: Mick Jagger]
I walk this way a million times with a blindfold on my eyes
It's a nighttime business with an angel in disguise
I bargained with the devil, I need heaven for one night
I can't stand this chaos, it's churning up my mind
[Chorus: Mick Jagger & Elton John]
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get lost in you
[Post-Chorus: Mick Jagger & Elton John]
Talk to me, pour your secrets out
Tеll me I'm the only man you evеr dream about
Talk to me, why don't you scream it out? Yeah
Tell me that you'd rather die than live without, live without me
[Chorus: Mick Jagger & Elton John]
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you, yeah, come on
[Post-Chorus: Mick Jagger & Elton John]
Talk to me, pour your secrets out, yeah
Tell me I'm the only man you ever dream about
Talk to me, why don't you scream it out?
Tell me that you'd rather die than live without, live without me
[Chorus: Mick Jagger & Elton John]
I wanna get close to you (Yeah, yes, I do)
I wanna get close to you (Oh, oh, close to you)
I wanna get high on you (High on you)
I wanna get lost in you (Okay, lost, lost, lost in you)
I wanna dive into you (I, yeah)
I wanna get close to you
