Closer Closer Closer Closer Turn the lights off in this place And she shines just like a star And I swear I know her face I just don't know who you are Turn the music up in here I still hear her loud and clear Like she's right there in my ear Telling me That she wants to own me To control me Come closer Come closer Oh I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop And I just can't break myself no way But I don't want to escape I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I can feel her on my skin I can taste her on my tongue She's the sweetest taste of sin The more I get the more I want She wants to own me Come closer She says "come closer" Oh I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop And I just can't break myself no way But I don't want to escape I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop (Come closer) (Come closer) (Come closer) (Come closer) (Come closer) (Come closer) (Come closer) I just can't stop no I just can't stop no I just can't stop no I just can't stop no Oh I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop And I just can't break myself no way But I don't want to escape I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop Oh I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop Come closer
