Intro: Ryan Leslie  Next Selection    Chorus:  I've been next to ya  I only wanna be next to ya  Been next to ya, I only wanna be next to ya  I've been next to ya, I only wanna be next to ya    1st verse:  After everything that we been through, I was there for you, you was there for me  And I wanna know what's the issue  Can we make it last, or am I just crazy?  Think about when we first met  The way we touched the way I felt and I  I really wanna know if it's for real  I've gone over this once, over this twice and then  Baby I came... to the conclusion that I really needed you  And no one in the world could take your place  If we gave this thang up, it would be such a shame  Baby 'cause I've been next to ya and I only wanna be next to ya    [Chorus]    2nd verse:  I'd thought you'd understand me when I say, what I say  And I brought you into my family, you're part of us  You know that they love you  Think about when we first met  The way we touched the way I felt and I  I really wanna kno-o-ow if this is for real  I've gone over this once, over this twice and then  Baby I ca-a-ame to the conclusion that I really needed you  And no one in the world can take your place  If we gave this thang up, it would be such a shame  Baby 'cause I-I-I've been next to ya and I only wanna be next to ya    [Chorus]    Bridge:  'Cause you're the only one that makes my heart feel this wayyy I  Got this feelin' that I know I just can't escape, you know I  Need you in my life I won't let you go, no  'Cause you mean everything to me, and I've been right next to you        3rd verse: Ryan Leslie  You can catch in a black coupe  Yea, I was dat dude  I hustle hard  Like all Harlem cats do  Was into pretty girls  Big city girls  Slick gettin money quick  Real witty girls  Fenny bag on her arm with the pretty curls  Biggest thing in her lil itty bitty world  That's me  I know what I gotta do  Settle for the Prada boots  House with the lotta rooms  And hit it right  All night  Take me out to game  But it's all right  It's lovely  And she lovin me  And when it's said and done  I know where she wanna be  (Krys Ivory-And I've...!)    [Chorus 2x]  (Ad-libs and vocalization in b/g)    Fade out....    these lyrics are submitted by Tionna Howard
