Lyrics

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 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 goin' insane 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 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 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 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 Saw my doctor he said give it time Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind When all it is is just a love affair You took me over baby, take me there 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 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 All I want is to be next to you...
Quotations and trivia
In 1982-09 Guitar Player Andy mentions using a slide for Next To You and It's Alright For You:
"Those are the only bits I've done it on. I had some very heavy brass slides made specially in England. You couldn't buy them. They're quite big. I like them becaues you get a lot more tone out of them. Next To You uses just the standard open E and G tunings. I was very into slide for a while. I also like open tunings, but I don't use them with The Police."
