Ciara - Next to You

I hope I don't make you mad
With what I'm 'bout to say, boy
Here we are once again
And I'm having second thoughts, boy
I'm not messing with you head
But I changed my mind, boy
I don't know why I'm here
At the same time I want you near
If you want me to leave (whoa-oh, whoa)
I will understand
See, I would just have to respect your wishes, boy
'Cause if I stay ain't no telling what may happen, boy (oh-ooh)
Although you look so good to me
It's best that I leave

I'm scared of being next to you
Because of what I think I might do
Boy, you're turning me on right now
I can't get down like that right now
Don't want to disturb the flow
But this is not my M.O.
Hold up, wait a minute, movin' too fast
I want somethin' like this here to last

(Don't say no, baby)
(Not right now, baby)
(I want you to be my lady)
(You got me going crazy)

Well, I guess I'll stay for a minute
Then I have to go, boy
This moment is so temptin'
Right now it's not what I want, boy
Maybe if we just embrace
With a simple kiss, boy
But that'll only make things worse
Hope I'm not getting on your nerves, boy
I just want it to be right for both of us (and I just wanna)
When you don't have to say a thing to make me comfortable, boy
Boy, you make me so weak when you look at me
But right now I'm a little confused, I think it's best that I refuse

I'm scared of being next to you (so scared)
Because of what I think I might do (oh-oh)
Boy, you're turning me on right now (right now)
I can't get down like that right now
Don't want to disturb the flow (don't want to disturb the flow)
But this is not my M.O.
Hold up, wait a minute, movin' too fast (too fast)
I want somethin' like this here to last

Supposed to be playing cards (oh)
Or watching a movie
But we keep locking eyes, boy
Now, why you tryna tease me?
This room is getting heated (oh-oh)
Would you open a window?
I think that I should go now
'Cause I can't take this no more

I'm scared of being next to you (next to you)
Because of what I think I might do (think I might do)
Boy, you're turning me on right now
I can't get down like that right now (whoa-whoa)
Don't want to disturb the flow (don't wanna)
But this is not my M.O. (that just ain't me)
Hold up, wait a minute, movin' too fast (but I'm sorry)
I want somethin' like this here to last (yes, I am)

I'm scared of being next to you (I'm so scared)
Because of what I think I might do
Boy, you're turning me on right now (uh-huh)
I can't get down like that right now (uh-huh)
Don't want to disturb the flow (don't wanna)
But this is not my M.O. (disturb the flow, but boy)
Hold up, wait a minute, movin' too fast (this ain't me, it just ain't me)
I want somethin' like this here to last

I'm scared of being next to you (I'm so scared)
Because of what I think I might do
Boy, you're turning me on right now
I can't get down like that right now
Don't want to disturb the flow (don't wanna disturb the flow)
But this is not my M.O. (not my M.O.)
Hold up, wait a minute, movin' too fast
I want somethin' like this here to last (too fast)
