I want you (Oh)
I want you (Oh)
You know what I want
I know what you don’t
I should be the one you love on
Boy, you got my mind playing truth or dare
Daring me kiss you right here
But we’ve been friends so long
And it seems so wrong
And everyone can see you’re perfect for me
But I just can’t let it show
I-whoa-whoa-whoa
I’ve been thinking about you
Boy, it’s killing me, and I got to let you know
Baby, tell me, do you feel it like I do?
‘Cause we both know what could go down if we got too close
Oh, boy if we get too close
Oh, I-I’m down if we get too close
Remember that girl that you used to date?
She with my ex-boyfriend, that’s great
So, what would you do?
What would you say if I said I loved you that way?
But we’ve been friends so long
And it seems so wrong
And everyone can see you’re perfect for me
But I just can’t let it show, oh
I’ve been thinking about you
Boy, it’s killing me and I got to let you know
Baby, tell me, do you feel it like I do?
‘Cause we both know what could go down if we got too close
Oh, boy if we get too close
Oh, I-I’m down if we get too close
All my ladies, all my ladies
All my ladies, make noise
All my ladies, all my ladies
All my ladies, make noise
All my ladies, all my ladies
All my ladies, make noise
All my ladies, all my ladies
All my ladies, make noise
But I just can’t let it show, oh
I’ve been thinking about you
Boy, it’s killing me and I got to let you know
Baby, tell me, do you feel it like I do?
‘Cause we both know what could go down if we got too close
Oh, boy if we get too close
Oh, I-I’m down if we get too close
Oh, boy if we get too close
Oh, I-I’m down if we get too close
Oh, I want you, oh, I want you, oh, I want you
Exploring the Emotions Behind “Too Close”
“Too Close” by Ariana Grande captures the bittersweet tension of friendship teetering on the edge of romance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who are undeniably drawn to each other, yet hesitant to cross the line due to their long-standing friendship and intertwined histories. Grande’s honest confessions—expressed through lines like “I should be the one you love on” and “everyone can see you’re perfect for me”—highlight the internal struggle between desire and fear of change. The song’s playful, yet vulnerable tone is amplified by references to shared past relationships and the palpable anticipation of what could happen if the attraction is acknowledged. Ultimately, “Too Close” is a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever questioned whether risking a friendship is worth the possibility of something more.
