Too Close Lyrics
[Intro]
I wonder if she could tell I'm hard right now
Yeah, come on, dance for me, baby, yeah
You feel that? All right, come on, don't stop now
You done did it, come on, yeah, all right, hold on
[Chorus]
Baby, when we're grindin', I get so excited
Ooh how I like it, I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancin' real close, 'plus it's real, real slow
You're makin' it hard for me
[Verse 1]
Oh the songs on you requested
You're dancin' like you're naked
It's almost like we're sexin' (oh yeah)
Yeah, boo, I like it, no, I can't deny it
But I know you can tell I'm excited, oh girl
[Pre-Chorus: Next and Vee]
(Step back, you're dancin' kinda close)
(I feel a little poke comin' through on you)
Now girl, I know you felt it
But boo, you know, I can't help it
You know what I wanna do
[Chorus]
Baby, when we're grindin', I get so excited
Ooh how I like it, I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancin' real close, 'plus it's real, real slow
You know you're makin' it hard for me
[Verse 2]
Baby, us dancin' so close ain't a good idea
'Cause I'ma want you now and here
The way that you shake it on me
Makes me want you so bad sexually, oh girl
[Pre-Chorus: Next and Vee]
(Step back, you're dancin' kinda close)
(I feel a little poke comin' through on you)
Now girl, I know you felt it
But boo, you know, I can't help it
You know what I wanna do, oh yes
[Chorus]
Baby, when we're grindin', I get so excited
Ooh how I like it, I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancin' real close, 'plus it's real, real slow
You know you're makin' it hard for me
Baby, don't stop
Baby, when we're grindin', I get so excited
Ooh how I like it, I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancin' real close, 'plus it's real, real slow
You're makin' it hard for me
[Bridge: Next and Vee]
I love when you shake it like that
(I see that you like it like that)
I love when you shake it like that
(I see that you like it like that)
Baby, I like it
[Chorus]
Baby, when we're grindin', I get so excited
Ooh how I like it, I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancin' real close, 'plus it's real, real slow
You're makin' it hard for me
[Outro]
I like the way you move
(Baby, when we're grindin' I get so excited)
You're making me want you oh the way you move
('Plus it's real, real slow)
I like those things you do cause you're a little too close, yeah
I get so excited, ooh, how I like it, I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancin' real close, 'plus it's real, real slow
You're makin' it hard for me

Who produced Too Close's ?
Too Close was produced by Kay Gee.
What inspired this song?
The inspiration for the song came from we were recording the album in Jersey and we went out to the club called The Peppermint. We were hanging out with some friends that we had met, and we were dancing with the females. You know, situations took place, and we get back to the house, and this was bac...
What was it like working with Kay Gee?
Working with Kay Gee was a treat. Kay Gee is a genius mind. He is one of the most underrated producers in the game, of all time, because he doesn’t just do rap. He doesn’t just do certain genres. He does pretty much everything. He doesn’t play keys, so he’ll have a guy that plays the keys, and then...
Are the guys from Next still in touch with the girls who inspired this song?
Yeah we still know the females that were part of the song. We’re still just friends. We’re all still cool. But at the end of the day it’s like they’re part of history, you know? And they were cool about it. You know how some people would try to get credit or somethin for that. But their credit is th...
What was Kay Gee's process like in the studio?
He’ll go, “You know, that’s too musical. Take this out. Do this.” It was hard for us in the beginning because we’re musical cats, so when you’re writing to a breakbeat, there’s no melody to follow. There’s no bed to really write your melody over. So it was a struggle in the beginning because it was...
Were the guys worried about releasing this song?
No I wasn’t worried, only because it’s not coming from a distasteful or disrespectful place. It’s coming from an honest place, and we’re basically saying that you being close to me turns me on. And we’re just saying it in a young mannish way. You know that was 20 years ago, maybe 19, just turning 20...
How did the idea come about to add the female perspective?
R.L. and Tweet wrote the song. How Vee’s part came about, the female, it’s basically, we said our perspective. Also, making a record, it’s like, “OK, we want the crowd and the ladies to be involved when we perform.” Once we recorded the song if you think about i, every time we perform that record,...
