Lyrics;
She was a Jazabel this Brixton queen
Living her life like a backstreet dream
Telling me lies when the truth was clear
I think she knew what I wanted to hear
Spinning me round like a wheel on fire
Walking a tightrope on love's high wire
Fatal attraction is where I'm at
There's no escape for me
(Chorus)
I just wanna be close to you
Do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
And show you the way I feel
I feel love when I'm lying in the midnight hour
Holding you just like a dream
Love is never what it seems
When we touch, and you're holding me the way you do
Girl you make my dreams come true
(Chorus)
She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
She holds me back or she goes too far
Winding me up just to let me down
So emotionally gagged and bound
There was more to this than meets the eye
A devil woman locked inside
With the full moon rising I was scared
I think I was possessed
(Chorus)
I feel love every time your body's next to mine
Something deep inside of me
Wants to love you endlessly
When we tough girl you don't know how it makes me feel
I just can't believe it's real I can't believe it's real
(Chorus)
She had an attitude I can't explain
You never know if you're in the frame
Tying me up with elastic words
I'm on a countdown till I get hurt
Her blood was hot and she burned so bright
A neon sign there in the night
It's hard to say if I went too far
My heart still bears the scars
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
She was a Jazabel this Brixton queen
Living her life like a backstreet dream
Telling me lies when the truth was clear
I think she knew what I wanted to hear (I just wanna be close to you)
Spinning me round like a wheel on fire
Walking a tightrope on love's high wire
Fatal attraction is where I'm at
There's no escape for me
I wanna be close to you do all the thing you wanna me to
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you baby
Show you the way I feel
I just wanna be close to you do all the thing you wanna me to
I just wanna be close to you

Everyone think the music fron their generation is the best and all others is trash..I seem my grandfather bash my mother's music from the 70s and 80s and my kids music their generation is not good at all. My son hates new music bt his sisters all like old and new but not him he all old school
2024 & still a bonafide classic. I was a child when I watched this video. Now an adult & it still sounds, looks & feels so beautiful. Thank you Maxi Priest for this. The memories are beautiful & timeless ❤️.

I remember this song back in the fall 🍂🍁 of 1990 I was starting college at EKU in Richmond Kentucky I was in the book store ordering my books and this song came on over the radio gave me a good feeling mtv was still out then I was 19 yrs old.
this is my favorite song of all time. i could listen to this 5 times in a row and never get tired of it. beautiful song. the video is a lot better than i thought it would be. first time i see it.

I gave u the 100th "like". And well deserved because I think this is probably my favorite song. (Always said I cannot pick a favorite song but if I had to, it would be this).
MAXI seemed to capture the Dance Club scene with his engaging melodic storytelling Tunes... Though known for his INCREDIBLE COVER of CAT STEVENS' "Wild World" his own songs like "That Girl" and THIS SONG, "Close To You" kept us on the dance floors. Thank you MAXI PRIEST for AMAZING MEMORIES! Most Grateful!!!
Happy 59th Birthday Maxi Priest!(Born June 10, 1961)😀🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾👍🏿👏🏿
Maxi Priest deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame , he is a Musical genius
I remember this song when I was in my 20s...... I'll be 64 this month...... baby-boomer music..... Love it
This instantly takes me back to my childhood, and I still experience the same emotions every time I hear it! Not only did the music feel good, but it was actually cool to be in-love! I hate that the generation of today doesn't get to experience that.
Wow I remember this song in the mid 90s my Big Brother used to play this song Maxi Priest. What iv learned the message strong meaning message.n those years in the mid/late 90s people were United .Thanx This song gave me Goosebumps the memories
Maxi Priest Deserves 4K.
This one of them songs I always blast in the middle of bad traffic to reduce my own road rage. It puts me in a happy place as I maneuver through it all. Don’t be surprised if you see and/or hear me singing along at top volume, repeatedly with all the windows rolled down.

I just wanna be close to you! ...what a amazing song 😊
Oh, how I love this song. When it came out in 1990, I went to a disco and when they played that song, I closed my eyes and played in my world.
An artist who could not be boxed into one beat that would define his music. This is classic music that cuts across ages and will be here long after we all gone.
This was a hit in the 90s I loved the song
Aug,2021.. Still sensual.... Timeless track...I had this on a cassette single! remember those...
YAAAAAAASSSSS! Had this tune in my head and finally found it! For some reason I was mixing it up with Jon Secada
90’s...gives me such a surreal, deep vibn’ movement in my soul. Music has not been the same.
Certain songs are synonymous with the eras in which they were popular. This is one of them. Timeless, yet transports me back to the early 90s.

Heard this song on one of my favorite movies today. Sleeping with the Enemy ❤ And decided to play it, forgot how much I love this song! It's still one of the best feel good songs to date! Makes me want to just to take a long drive with no destination planned!!! Beautiful 💜
Gorgeous track this, needs a cover but a cover that Maxi would be proud of. If done properly, it'd smash the charts today imho.

This song made me know what falling in love was as an 18 year old boy, 1992! Dedicated this song to Becky even when she was far away from me
I heard this in the store, it brought back memories, I had to look it up.
2019 and still loving this. His voice is so pure. 💜
Mixi Priest, is killing me with this song I can watch it a 100 times thanks.
I just found this song, sound so ageless, ahead of his time.
This 2021. There is something about this song it just gives me the chills. SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES 😍😍😍😍
Maxi at his very best top of game - love this tune and Maxi was really ahead of his time
Maxi Priest and all of his slow, romantic ballads are a classical time piece. I am and always have been both romantic and sensual, and there is no surprises there! But non of the songs I listen to on this album and other albums of other artists, do not remind me of any past loves! They would not be so very enjoyable to listen to, if they reminded me of people whom have shared a part of my life with. For I no longer accept or want or need anyone in my past back, despite what other people may/may not perceived. I love most genres of music but not rock music, or heavy metal, never been into either of that type of music...So Maxi Priest on whatever day of the week or year, is brilliant to tune into...love and light xx
I’m 60 now! Friday and Saturday nights hit the pubs and clubs and this was the best ! I am so old know but just love this !
Sitting in front of the grocery store tonight, the breeze coming off the seashore.. This was great coming through the speakers! 📻⚡💕🎶💃
