Written by Sting, “Next To You” is a hard driving love song that opens The Police’s 1978 debut album Outlandos d'Amour.
Quite appropriately, it was, to date, also the last song the trio has performed together, played at the final show of their 2008 reunion tour.

[Verse 1]
I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay
You took me over, let me find a way
[Verse 2]
I sold my house, I sold my motor too
All I want is to be next to you
I'd rob a bank, maybe steal a plane
You took me over, think I'm going insane
[Chorus]
What can I do?
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do?
All I want is to be next to you
[Verse 3]
I've had a thousand girls or maybe more
But I've never felt like this before
But I just don't know what's come over me
You took me over, take a look at me
[Chorus]
What can I do?
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do?
All I want is to be next to you
[Bridge]
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
[Verse 4]
So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all it is is just a love affair
You took me over baby, take me there
[Chorus]
What can I do?
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do?
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do?
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do?
All I want is to be next to you
[Outro]
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
All I want is to be next to you (What can I do?)
Next to You was written by Sting.
Next to You was produced by The Police.
The Police released Next to You on Thu Nov 02 1978.
In a 2000 interview with Revolver, the band discussed “Next To You”:
Stewart Copeland: I remember our political discourse over Andy’s slide guitar part, which in my book was very ‘old wave’ bullshit…
Andy: But of course, I still get letters to this day about that brilliant slide guitar solo.
