I'd like to get next to you
   if you want me to
  
   I could hold you
   maybe I could show you
   but I'm afraid
   cause you see I have been hurt before
   though I don't want to hurt no more
   this feeling inside of me
   is strong in me
   is strong in me
   could you tell me who you are
   and would I really want to know
   what's it been for you
   just to trust and hold on, too
  
   I'd like to get next to you
   whenever you wnated to
   I'd like to get next to you
   whenever you wanted to
  
   you could hold me
   maybe you could show me
   how to trust
   cause you see I have been hurt before
   though I don't want to hurt no more
   this feeling inside of me
   is strong in me
   is strong in me
   could I tell you who I am
   and would you really want to know
   what it's been for me
   just to trust and to believe
  
   could I show you who I am
   would you really want to understand
   holding skin to skin
   my emotion feels like it has no end
   could I show you myself
   could I get right next to you,
   next to you
