Come Close (Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival, 2005)

[Intro: Common & Mary J. Blige]
What I'm really tryin' to say is
Come close to me, baby
Let your love come through
Put your hands in the y'all, it's the basement party
I know this world gets crazy
What's it without you?

[Verse 1: Common]
Are we living in a dream world?
Are your eyes still green, girl?
I know you're sick and tired of arguing
But you can't keep it bottled in
Jealousy, we got to swallow it
Your heart and mind, baby, follow it
Smile, happiness, you could model it
And when you feel opposite
Yo, I just want you to know
Your whole, being is beautiful
I'ma do the best I can do
Why, 'chelle, 'cause I'm my best when I'm with you

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige + (Common)]
Come close to me, baby
Let your love hold you
(Yo, let your love hold you)
I know this world is crazy
What's it without you?
Nothin', nothin'

[Verse 2: Common]
You've helped me to discover me
I just want you to put trust in me
I kind of laugh when you cuss at me
The aftermath is you touching me
Destiny that we connected, girl
You and I, we can affect the world
Yo, I'm tired of the fast lane
I want you to have my last name

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige + (Common)]
Come close to me, baby
Let your love hold you
(Let your love hold you)
I know this world is crazy
What's it without you?
(Yo, sing it with us y'all, take 'em to the bridge)

[Bridge: Mary J. Blige + (Common)]
I know what you're thinking, you're on my mind
You're right, (Say what?) you're right, you're right (Yeah)
You're running so fast, you just might take flight
Hope you're not tired, (When y'all?) tonight, tonight
