Common — 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
